Thanks for posting all these old interesting Apache brochures & ads.

does anyone know why they changed from Arneson drives to mecury?

My pleasure. I figured you guys would get a kick out of them.

I have been lucky enough to spend more hours than I can count out on "Island Runner" over the years and that set the hook in me pretty hard for the old Apaches.

Even though I love my Cig and Scarab I will admit I suffer from a fair amount of "Tribal Envy" LOL.

Here is a pic from the good ole' days...........me tied up next to IR
about 1991, maybe '92.

I understand that. My old powerboating buddy (Billy Steadman) from the eighties had a 28SS & I have a been aboard it for many an Atlantic Ocean run. Great Powerboats indeed!
