I am no apache guru by anymeans but, I know thats not hammere head... I beleive Jenny's express turned into this ride. Any thougts from the others? It made chronilogical sense to me from the time it was sold and when these pictures surfaced...... This would be my guess...... :)

That is what I believe as well, that Jenny's express became Wardance. Not sure where that boat is today? For a while the boat was in NJ and was white with a two tone 6 pack interior. I have pics of this setup when it was for sale on another computer. Maybe someone else can post those pics to this thread, as I won't be on that computer till tomorrow at the earliest.

Thats not Hammerhead as I saw this boat at Guardardo Marine while Hammerhead sat 2 blocks away!!!! I can tell you that it is #27 built of the
41's

I love the shot in the marina with the matching lift, dockbox, powerpoles etc. With the background of a bunch of "normal" boats. Takes me back to the early 90's? seeing Allez Vite on a busy Saturday fueling with Sunoco Race fuel at the Parkside Marina here in Michigan. Those Apaches were, and still are, so radically removed from the "norm" it makes my head spin. Someday...

It is great to see some fresh pictures of such a great ride, thanks again-

Great old pictures, I also used to watch Pete come in holland and get fuel with Allez Vite. I used to watch him run her up and down the coast, and dreamed of owning her, 41's are amazing boats.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Bringing back an old thread. I have been trying to find out what happened to this boat for years. I was just a kid when he used to run that thing through the inlet and hit those throttles wide open running her up the coast. Lethal weapon jennys express and geronimo were some serious machines. I remember sitting on the beach as a kid hearing those engines roar from miles away. Jennys express was and still is one of my favorites. Great memories. Walking to harbor island just to check her out....those were the days

Smallblock, if you're still on here, do you remember sisters Caroline and Lindsey N.? I was just a kid when they would take me over to jennys house and then I'd have to beg them to take me to look at the boat. Damn, finding this made my day and seeing these pics brought back a lot of good memories.

That is a great pic. Id love to have a full size to hang. I remember him telling my mother and my brother and I, long long ago, that she would top out at 104. Absolutely amazing considering.that's over 20 years ago. Someday I'd like to do a Jenny's Express build. Replicate that paint scheme cause no matter how many times I see that thing it never gets old to me. Even though it pretty much sums up the 80-90's style.

My wife works with a gal who spent quite a bit of time on Jenny's Express back in the day. I have asked the wife to see if she has any pics too. I was just a little s--t back then, but I think I remember a crazy yellow go fast out of OC back then. It sure is a small world. I belive this lady dated a gentleman who ran w Jennys in a Cig.

Not to resurrect an old thread but I came across the Jennys Express pics on google awhile back and meant to comment. Gary was my stepdad and I've ridden on her many many times. Gary even let me drive it once or twice (in the bay). Dan the man, how the hell are you? It's been 18 years and I'm glad to see that you still have all the pics we gave you after Gary passed, since the rest are probably in my mom's basement at the moment, collecting dust. Hope you still have the jacket and maybe a pair of those lounge lizards.

Just for the memory, here's a few more pics. First one is me, our dog max and Gary on our Seadoo Speedster in the summer of 1997, about three years before Gary died. If you look close, Gary is wearing his gold Apache medallion. Second pic is, of course, the Jennys Express with Gary at the helm, my mom, Steve our mechanic and I think Bill Schaefer, who owned Lethal Weapon (also my god father). Last one is Bill, Gary and my mom all dressed as pirates. Gary went all out for that one and I remember him leaving the house in that outfit, dying of laughter. Good times, good memories.

Also forgot the paddle. Had this in my office forever. Obviously as it states it's from the Poker Run down in FL. The boat broke down and Gary ended up getting to the final stop well after everyone else, so he got this lovely paddle, which he promptly hid away in the basement when he got home.
