Posted by Omar Daniel in a previous thread concerning Apache Heritage....pretty interesting.
No I don't have the 47 any longer. The number 50 on the side was given to us by Don Johnson as a token of appreciation for the years Richie Powers raced with him on Team USA. I refit the boat in 2003 at Mark's shop, ran it in open water and in two or three poker runs for about two years. The boat had major problems with headers (unheard off in marine industry, until this day I have stomach cramps when I think about it). I decided it needed a close to home owner to look over it properly as Mark did not and I gave the Heritage to Richie Powers which sold it to one of Mark's clients which did..... another refit out of all things. That is why I don't know where it is at now. I posted a thread to search for the boat. Not that I would want to own or buy it but this boat was our baby to all of us at some point. It truly made history back when it was built. It was never defeated in any race, won all races so retired at the crown of its success. She truly deserves all the respect an old lady can get, she really deserves to sit in the hall of fame of HORBA or similar.
