interesting apache
 

saw that one this morning also....nice looking boat, nice power also.

Owner got tired of it ?
 

This boat was on E-Bay a year ago on the west coast. I bid but w/ zero feedback the dealer cancelled bid. Refused to reinstate, suggested I bid on some smaller items (which i have) to build a feedback history. A lot of people will not bother to giver feedback.
I still have zero feedback but hopefully the seller will listen this time.

This boat is now on the east coast, and i undertstand the owner works for a large motorsports company.

A very unique boat, staggered, with BIG motors and # 6 wet sumps. I might pull the checkbook out again.

looks well cared for...

Damn nice rig.

Didn't I see that at the Ozarks either last year or the year before???

Wannabe, I have seen it for sale in a couple of different places since the last Ebay sale. I am sure you have also. It is a very nice boat. It will be interesting to see what they take for the boat. They reportedly got a very good deal on the boat when they purchased it. Sam

The boat sold in high 60's and the cost of transporting across the country is 3k at least.

Then it pops up for sale at $ 190k!!!!

Now on E-Bay again, and this time on the east coast (much closer to me).

I am told when this boat was rigged no expense was spared. It looks damn nice, but the cockpit is a weird set up. Two stand up bolsters and 3 (very skinny) looking stand up bolsters behind those.

Wannabe

high 60's wow....somebody got a deal

Boat is listed right here in the OSO classifieds by Pete at TNT marine:

12yr old boat for 194,000 I do't think soooo:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D

Wannabe, was the previous owner that sold the boat for 60k not a woman? If my memory serves me right, that is what the word was on one of the threads about this boat last year. The price, 194k, yea it does seem a little high. It does have extremely nice hardware though. Sam

I think your right.

The 36 is like a Cafe or Top Gun, but w/ the full stagger is very tight in the cockpit.

Real value of this boat maybe in the breakup value. because I think this boat has limited appeal- Poker Run Crowd.
2 #6 wet sumps w/ trannys $15k ea ?
2 Paul Pfaff 850's w/ 20 hrs $18 k ea ?
1 Myco trailer $4 k
Bare Hull $ 10 k

Minus the A$$ache to pull all of it apart?

That tells me the most they can expect on Ebay is about $ 70k-74k

If it comes with the three Hooter's girls in the pic the $194m may be a deal!

I just want to rent them, not buy them.:eek:

Wannabe

BUT IT'S AN APACHE :D :p :crazy:

I wonder what the reserve is? Sam

Nice boat for sure. The cockpit is a bit of a turnoff, but at that price I am sure I can make due.

It list's that the reserve has not yet been met. How can you find out what the reserve is? (Excuse me for not being ebay savvy)

Only the seller knows.

You keep uppin till it's met, but they can drop it too.

Wannabe

That blows!

Panther
 

That's just one of the things that blows about eBay.

I think there are some sellers sometimes have phantom buyers bidding, that way they bid the price up. You as a buyer feel you are bidding against a legitimate buyer but don't know otherwise.

I think this happens rarely, but on a high ticket item could be expensive lesson. Rule is not to let emotion get you.

Wannabe

Heck the things got to be worth 90K....cost you 3 times that to build one!

It doesnt work like that. The boat is very nice and 36's hold a strong value. they seem to sell for $85-100K actual value. Bolsters like that are made to look skinny, they hold you in tight in the snotty stuff. not the most comfortable, especially on hot days. But they keep you in the boat, and thats what counts.
What ever happened to the other apache on ebay with no reserve? Did it sell?

Wannabe, wasn't your bid your bid on this boat last year higher than it sold for? I seem to remember you bidding fervently on the boat, or am I mistaken. Are you going to join the bidding wars again, or did the last episode sour you towards Ebay. Funny little tidbit regarding an Ebay transaction. A friend bid on a Bell Jet Ranger last year, the reserve was not reached. He was called 3 months later by the State of Connecticut, owner of the helicopter, and asked if he was still interested in purchasing it. He acknowledged that he was and made the purchase. Maybe the boats owner will contact you and you can purchase it for what you offered before. LOL Sam

Re: Neverfastenuf
 

Hey, there's always that 36 Apache at Typhoon Performance that needs lots of work, has lesser drives, power, etc... and according to the seller, it's a solid 85K boat!:D:D:D Maybe he'll bid on this one, because by his standards this IS a 194K boat.:rolleyes:

Neverfastenuf
 

Yep, the jerk dealer selling it in Wa. cancelled my bid. Considered me a "shill". I contacted him but he refused to reinstate.

Boat is up to $ 99k last I looked.

That would be great if it sold for a $ 100 k, a 12 year old boat though.

Wannabe

I would buy this boat in a heartbeat.Anyone looking for a bad a$$ 36 Apache needs to go look at this boat.I am angry i even went to look at it yesterday.I know i will regret not taking the plunge:(

I could easily buy the boat but the wife said something about divorce and she works for an attorney:D

Does anyone know what the reserve is?

I was in until it got over 90K. I'm sure it's worth every penny of 100k, but the cockpit is a turnoff for me. Either way it's a damn nice boat!!!

850 Paul Pfaff's with 20 hours and #6's.I think the power and drivetrain alone are worth 100k;)

Panties,

Did you get the reserve amount from them when you looked at the boat?

I agree with you the boat is EASILY worth 100K, I just cant justify it.

The business end of that thing looks BAD AZZ!

I cannot disclose the reserve but if i had the $ and the wifes permission i would be all over it.The boat is close to perfect.:cool: I would love to see an oso member snatch this boat up.
