Nobody involved with the complete update of the 1987 41-foot Apache Powerboats Scalp Hunter is calling the project “work” even though in actuality it has required a ton of labor and effort to get to this point.

Just thinking that with Today's Power options Triples are a bit Passe'...Parabellum FJ²B

The graphic shows trips.
The story on the other hand: "Imhof said the boat is going to feature twin JC Performance engines that have been completely refreshed. Of course it will include a top-notch audio systems from Waves and Wheels when all is said and done."
Maybe it will feature a third JC Performance engine that was incompletely refreshed. That would make a total of three.

It's my understanding that if you put 24 inch wheels and a loud stereo on a 3/4 ton SUV, it tows and stops much better than the original 6,000-11,000 capacity.
Is it one of those 3/4 ton pickups converted over?Last edited by fund razor; 12-27-2019 at 12:35 PM.

Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

12-29-2019 05:22 PMIts not clear to me whats actually happening. Rendering shows three drives and two sets of pipes and text claims its getting new twin engines. Was it built as a triple?
I agree with Bobcat triples are passe, but I believe restoring an iconic boat is better then butchering it any day.

If they did that, they'd strap about 4 outboards to it....Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
