Current owner of WW had another 41, not sure where it is these days. They do require deep pockets to own and run, was told by the previous owner buying the boat was the cheapest part 😳

It is a 41 Apache, Saber bought the molds years ago. It’s an awesome boat for the right buyer, that pool is pretty small though. Probably cost 3x that or more to build the same boat today.

I drove hull #1 some years ago, figured out real quick (after dipping the rub rail in the water) that you need to drag inside tab while turning. Definitely some legitimate reasons they made changes...

25p Mirage (non plus), 502’s spun them +/-5200rpm depending on conditions. I did end up having them labbed and a bit of cup added to help carry the bow.

I preferred the original Mirage props on mine, had them labbed and cupped a little. Less grip out of the hole, but made the boat a whole lot lighter in the water at speed and significantly faster. ...

I’m still surprised that people use/like the 4 blade Bravos on a twin 28. I tried them and despised them for everything other than getting on plane. Went from 7-8% slip on 3 blades to 18% on...

No worries about speed wall with the rocker. These hulls run very high once you get above 50 or so. The main concern is running props that keep the bow up and carry it at speed. They are all prone to...

I don’t believe the Offshore and Cyclone are different molds. I think what you are referring to is that they changed the bottom design after the first few boats. I don’t remember exactly but I think...

If you are looking for soft ride when slow drag about 3/4 tab, a 28 will plow through just about anything with tabs down. Thata what I did when my kids were small and riding along

Mine would porpoise under 40 or so if you ran any trim at all. I would just keep drives down all the way until 45 and that pretty much eliminated it. Not worth trimming up for an extra mph or 2 at...

Based on what I have heard and checked into when I had my 28 it will probably take 750 a side minimum to reliably break 100.
