Doc to be honest...usually I have a pretty good handle on who is racing. This year I have so many calls from so many teams, it all becomes a blurr. I'll go through my notes, but I know there are more coming. Testing our Viper Tomorrow. Been a while, can't wait. My favorite Pic. Smitty

Well maybe this one

Great pic Smitty, keep me posted on anything you hear. Im getting anxious

You might have another canopy Fountain in P3.

?????? Other Fountain in P3??? Who would that be???? :)

Chris

Great, lets do this..

Good Luck Guys!!!!!:ernaehrung004:

Damn She Looks Great !!!!
 

Finally, after all the years of watching Apaches crushing waves on the race course and off, I finally got my 1st opportunity to get "INSIDE" a (REAL ONE) to really see what these boats are made of !!!

Thanks to Gary of Roger's Speed Shop and Drew of Kurt's Marine for this opportunity for a photo shoot of an incredible boat !
This Apache is being prepared for the upcoming 2010 OPA Racing Season.

The most impressive points are not just the hull structure itself but how this boat was rigged. The thought of building a step right onto the Port Saddle Fuel Tank for easy access in and out of the engine compartment and the hose lines going to angle aluminum for a much easier disconnect when having the need to remove the engines from the boat. All the connections are in one place up on top of the fuel tanks. Brilliant !!!
For a 1986 hull, this boat look great !!!

Sharkey-Images wishes them the best of luck ! :drink:

Holy smoke!!! Dr Gray's boat looks great!!!!

Got a question. I noticed the driver's seat and steerling is very close to each other. there's a room, right? Sorry but that what picture look like but I am sure that in person will be different! Good luck!!!!

Look like your boat is almost ready to dial in for OPA season opener! :)

Chris

I can tell you this, it was tight for me getting out, so yes, it is close but that is what it needs to be in Offshore. You don't want much room to get tossed around....:drink:
