Not sure this belongs here, it's a McMannus.

Thanks to marylandmarks link http://apachepowerboats.com I was reminiscing.
I saw this boat on Lake Erie a couple years ago and I was wondering whose it is and where it's at now. (not my pic) Also thinking I NEED a ride on that bad boy:26:

Looks like Cochise boat. Same deck?

I, personally, do not particularly like the deck or lines of this boat. I'm sure it is bad a$$ just not my style.

It was for sale about 6 months ago. Ask MrHorsepower. He listed it for sale for the owner. He also rebuilt the engines in it........

I don't know much about McManus Superboats but they were always listed as 42's so I don't know if they were lengthened 41's or what. They look nice in person but I prefer the original Apache design.

They're all Apaches now, Mark owns the rights...so I wonder if all the McManus owners have been rebadging them....

Actually, built from a mold made from my first (1985) 41 after it broke.

McManus' layup schedule on the Comanche is somewhat heavier than the original Apache. If you think the Apache is a resin bucket... Amazing ride quality though.

Ed, have you heard from Frank down at Fiberglass Plus? I haven't spoken to him in a really long time.

If it makes you feel any better it looks like I'm taking off next season as well....

Hi Andy
I bought the Comanche a few years ago with the thought in mind to convert it to 6's and new power. So far, with my workload I haven't accomplished that. I've only had that Comanche out once in 3' to 4' seas and ran it to about 70 with plenty of throttle left. I need to retire and get some important things done!
The drives and power are for sale, if anyone is interested.
Ed

Ed, Nice :cool: ... think those are first pics I've ever seen you post :) Maybe I missed any others that you had posted.

What are the drives #3s/3As??? Gimbals for sale as well? Price? If you prefer PM me.

Thx,
Chris
