Cold war

[DAREDEVIL]

Hey ,,i heard COLD WAR is real cold now. CUT UP @ outerlimits ?!

IS THIS THRU ???:lurk5:

[Roger 1]

I heard the same thing. Anyone know the details?

[stecz20]

interesting....

[DAREDEVIL]

I think because of liability issuis and i heard the russians are PI$$$$$$ED big time now.:sifone:

We'll see or hear about that one i guess.LOL:lurk5:

The boat ran. Someone didn't do their homework, and I don't believe it was the builder.

You take a 50' boat from a builder that's known for very heavy open-ocean layups, then you start to add... 3' of bustle on the back, radar arch, tons of options, etc, etc. Each piece increases the weight. If you forget to add power each time, you gotta figure it's going to slow down.

But the single biggest telling factor in this story is the boat's replacement. Outerlimits. A guy goes from the heaviest to the lightest in one jump? Makes me wonder if they did ANY research or gave any consideration to what they wanted in a boat or if they bought the first big, shiny thing they saw.

you have to figure they were probably getting their news from TASS, so the eighties is still fresh news to the masses in Russia.

Nope Russians don´t read news or anything they just get what they wan´t.... or try at least and sometimes even succeeds but mostly they are a bunch of F-U´s.
Thats how they are mainly. But the Academics excell.
We´ve been fighting them off for more than 800 yrs we know a thing or two how they work as we´re still independent.

Please don´t get me started on the matter. Just another sucker with more money than brains.
And there´s one born every minute...

1. Rule
You never bargain with russians. You just aim at them.
2. Rule
Look straight in their eyes, thru your sights , always.

[MattBMiller]

Anyone have pics?

[Geronimo36]

so, is it cut up or in tact?

rumor or truth?

[Ratickle]

Anyone have pics?

These are all I know of. I'm sure there are more. Can't think of any reason to cut it up though. I think it cost over a Mill.

Frank, its a rumor. Boat is still sitting on the trailer de-rigged at OL. Saw it a week ago sitting there.

[Chris]

It was a much better story when it was sawed into pieces. Or that the Russian Mafia has a hit out on McManus. Or that aliens...

I hate to say it, but that thing is UGLY!

When that boat was rigged what were they seeing for top speed? I follow the old boats, and was never too interested by this thing....

[Perlmudder]

Maybe it is just me, but every 41 and 47 I see in the classifieds on oso is super cool looking to me, but this one just isn't right. Each one of these I think is the perfect design.

[Team Tsunami]

You should see that boat in person.........it doesnt deserve to be branded an Apache. Its just horrible!!! Not just looks but everything else, just bad! If I were the Russian I'd be sueing too!! Oh yea besides the motors and drive thats how the owner got the boat!:eek:

I'm hearing rumors it took 6 dudes to lift the "aluminum" engine hatch? :leaving:

[tjscarab]

All I know is that had to be a big tube of super glue they used to put it back together after it was sawed apart!!!! If the swim platform or what ever you call the big hunk of fiberglass hanging off the back and the arch were not there and it had trick paint the boat would look a whole lot different.

[42 apache]

now much are they trying to get for it?

[Team Tsunami]

For numbers call Fred at Outerlimits and im sure he'll tell you what they are if your interested.

[Team Tsunami]

Hey bud,

Wass Upp Sean! Pm'd ya!

[Geronimo36]

and remove the big molded wind fairing....

Basically change everything about it...

[phragle]

so to really fix it..someone needs to take a chainsaw to it.....

[Geronimo36]

start fresh!:rofl:

This is the way that thing should look...But from looking at the formed and molded bussle, it would take a LOOOOOOOT of work!!

[J-Bonz]

This is the way that thing should look...But from looking at the formed and molded bussle, it would take a LOOOOOOOT of work!!

Right on, I agree!!

[LEOPAJM]

this is the way that thing should look...but from looking at the formed and molded bussle, it would take a looooooot of work!!

amen !!!!

[Geronimo36]

Make that change and get rid of the 600 lb. engine hatch! ;)

I guess the Russians themselves wanted it to look like a Russian patrolboat... and they SUCCEEDED !!!!!

[Flying Dutchman]

Looks good without the mast-
