Joe headed to South Florida with the Apache today, where it belongs. After having it on our lake in Oklahoma all of its life, it is going to some real water. Other than Grand, it has been to LOTO once, and tested on Lake X twice.

I know exactly how Steve felt yesterday whe the OSO Gladiator left. It really does feel like losing a friend and family member all rolled into one

From going out in the middle of December to let my best friends ashes fly in the lake that he loved, to all of the great days and nights spent on the water. "Old Faithful" is now gone. About the only time we drove it in the last three years is when the rest of the E-Dock crew had mechanical failures. At least a young family will get use and as much enjoyment out of it as I have.

Joe and I have both jumped through hoops in the last 7 days to make this happen, and now it is official.

Like I said last night Joe, take care of her and she will take care of you.

Joe on the sea trial.

i think I am going to curl up in a ball and cry.
That was my favorite v bottom boat on Grand.

Bub,
anything to replace it in the works?

After I quit slamming my head in the door for even thinking about selling it, I'll figure that out later. Probably a 460 Sea Ray for now. I get plenty of the speed thing riding with everyone else.

I hear you. Your pretty good as designated captian.
Worst case senario, you get to drive the Carver.

Congrats I guess on the sale.

the new apache kid

Memories

here's a few.

Come to think of it, the boat has seen some women in its day

Congrats Joe!

Let me know when you get home. Want to make sure everything went well on the trip home.
