That boat has been for sale for a LONG time, It's still a sharp looking boat though.

Gh700xx 12-29-2014 03:53 PM

If it was a 47 Apache it would be sitting in my shop rite now.

That guy has had that boat for sale for years and years! Not worth much, by the time you rig, you could buy one rigged cheaper. Just my two cents!

cig92 12-29-2014 07:17 PM

it's a cool one off boat, too bad they painted it tribal green. it's missing the raised engine hatch and glass winshield. it was a bad a$$ sit down boat at one time. if you can get the guy to throw in some rigging and not a penny more than 20k for the boat and trailer you might do ok. i believe the guy has parts, he's always got something for sale. it would certainly be a cool boat

Wildman_grafix 12-29-2014 07:43 PM

Used to be a guy on the board PSI something. Lives in Apollo beach I think.
Like Cig said at one point he advertised it with anersons.

I think it's kind of cool and rare,,,,,,, rig it and enter the Long Island race!

Fenderjack 12-29-2014 07:56 PM

That was one of 3 made.Neat boat but man the power you would need to make it run.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good For a nice pair of sea-tech diesels and surface drives.If you had the money you could go diesel for under 100k

andyouknothis 12-31-2014 03:28 PM

thanks for the infos

Gh700xx 12-31-2014 03:47 PM

yeah twin diesels or triple BIG POWER to motivate the thing but would definitely be bad ass

Unlimited jd 12-31-2014 04:59 PM

Very nice looking boat, I was thinking about it if it dropped a little more. Not sure on the weight but to run anything respectable it would take a pair of 1000's minimum I'm guessing?

Gh700xx 12-31-2014 10:46 PM

That's whT I was thinking if you used twins.

not quite sure but I think that is the 1st 47 CS ( competition series ) the original sit down that Reggie raced in New Orleans ( bye bye movie stars), years ago it was for sale with triple 1000's and 6's then someone pulled the motors and filled in the center drive and put small motors in it using the outer drives. it was for sale for ever then the present owner purchased it pulled all the rigging and drives and started a make over. has been for sale in its present conditioned for years. at one time he had some arenson to go along with it. Im guessing that the 3 47 CS he talks about is this one , the all red race boat converted to please, that was parted out few years ago, and the other red one that was at everglades had dealer down the side with 525sc and #3 drives which was a pleasure boat from the factory and was also in there brochure around 1994 or 95. id like to know were that dealer boat ended up at. last time I saw it , it was in Michigan at a used car lot. Anyone know were its at now?
