The 22 Apache has a lesser vee (22 degree I think). The Apache 24 was almost identical (later the Cherokee 24).

The Martini is a 26 and it came from the same plug as the 26 Corsa. Another twin to the Carrera 24 is the 24
Scorpion in which Julio de Varona former owner of Scorpion powerboats baught the plug from Humberto Picon former owner of Carrera Power boats in the early 80`s. I`ve been in a Martini, Scorpion, I owned a 24 Pantera and a 24 P&D at one point, and for those of you looking into getting into a 24, the Pantera is more than proven itself out in the ocean. Second is the Martini or Corsa, strictly my only opinion I`m not here to bash or set sides take it or leave it;)

yes, its a 24. i donut actually know much about them either. from looking at this one i would not hesitate to own at the right price. seems pretty solidly built. like Old School said, it is a derivative of the boats listed above. they are very competent rough water boats.

Just checked their website and the 24 is a 8' beam boat. I heard they were tough well made boats that were very fast.

has any body figured out where the original 24 came from for design and co.

Air Dog 12-11-2004 03:59 PM

I don't know the history of the other boats, but the Banana Boat which began produciton in 1976 was the predecessor to the Cigarette Fire Fox.

Don Arronow who built the mold for the Banana really liked it so a few years later, he started making them as well, but with a slightly different deck which he called the fire fox.

We wound up with an Apache Scout outboard. See my thread "1987 Apache Scout project" in the Apache forum

I have a similar boat build in 1969, always thought it was a prototype of Cigarette boat, but instead it is the prototype of Magnum later build by P&D boats.
