Apache Heritage was originally built in 1992 for the SBI Key West World Offshore Championship races. It was delivered to Key West at 6:00 AM, Wednesday, the morning of the race. Since the boat was a prototype, there was no time for testing. Apache Heritage won the race on Wednesday and Saturday claiming the World Offshore Championship title. In 1993 Apache Heritage also claimed the World Offshore Championship title. After the 1993 race the boat was retired for 10 years. In 2003 the boat was modified to a pleasure version for poker run events.

Special thanks to Richie Powers, one of the best throttlemen in the world, with a career of 7 World Offshore Championship titles.

Original Specifications:

Year: 1992
Engines: Triple Mercury 1000HP
Length: Apache 45'
Speed: Top speed 112mph with an average speed of 94.75 in rough sea conditions.
Design: Sitdown with centerline open access canopy. This was the first sitdown deep-vee superboat.

Thank you for your interest.

..that has to be some ride!! :D

Re: Apache Heritage
 

Steve,

Apache Heritage originally had a centerline open access canopy that was not removable. And any decisions regarding the new 2005 Apache are undecided at this time.

Re: Apache Heritage
 

Gotta luv "old school" offshore.. with a hint of modern technology.. :drink:

Re: Apache Heritage
 

It was great to see that boat kick INXS in the Worlds in 92 & 93,Apache the true offshore ruff water champion in those days,before they started to chop up all of the V bottoms for top end not rough water,in the rough Apache ruled the seas.

Re: Apache Heritage
 

I always thought that Apache Heritage was a cut down 47. The overall length of it is now 45' due to the reduced freeboard, but didn't it start life as a 47'? On the other hand, ours was built as a 45' in a blocked off 47' mold and still has the original freeboard height. Is this right or wrong? To be honest, I truly don't know for sure, but I am hoping that Mark can fill us in since he built them both. I'm not trying to stir the pot here, but I have heard so many stories about the two boats that I am just curious to know how they both arrived at 45'. Not like it makes a difference, but I would love to know because a lot of people have asked me and I have never been able to tell them how they were made for sure. Mark, please fill me in.

Re: Apache Heritage
 

Apache Heritage is a cut down 47 where your boat was a dammed 47

Re: Apache Heritage
 

I always thought it was 50'.

Re: Apache Heritage
 

It was advertised for sale as a 50 a couple of years ago. I was surprised to see it's a 45. Incredible boat.

Re: Apache Heritage
 

Mr. McManus,

Can you fill all of us in more on the length?

Was it's maden voyage as a 47' and later cut down.
Or was it popped as a 47' and cut down right away
to a 45' etc.

More history would be great.

Thank you
