Default Bull Run Apache

I meant Bull Roar. Sorry

Why is this Boat still on the market? Is it just priced too high? I think personally that is a very classy looking boat, I am unsure I would own a Black boat but it looks great! With the power it has it should run out very respectable. Is there something wrong with it or just too high in price?

Maybe because it's highly customized?? Or the #3's??

Does seem odd that it's still available. It has always been one of my favorite 36's.

I thought the 3's were a decent drive?

They're a great drive. Just not being built by Merc anymore, similar to the TRS which was also a good drive.

My first offshore was a black Formula 302ls. My first trip up the deck on a hot day found both me and the anchor in the lake as the deck temp felt like 500 degrees F on my bare feet. The next winter I painted the deck white. Black boats look cool but are not at all practical. Just my 2 cents.

It's a great boat, but not everybody has the money it takes to keep the big motors program going. I have been in it years ago, it's a sweet boat. I agree the deck painted white would be nice, white interior would be nice also.

I was wondering how it would work trying to throw an anchor on a hot day.....definately would need some type of deck shoes.....that boat looks awsome.
