Before I got it someone put a good size pad on the bottom. So I think with that and the notched transom it helps quite a bit along with the lightness of it.

I hope they hold another poker run in Fairhaven in 2010, maybe I will get to see JMAK. I'm definitely making it a point to check out that awesome Apache.

Mark what a boat you have, now we just have to have Mel figure out a way to put your walker next to you inside the bolster.
Seriously Marks boat is the ****. I have ridden in my fair share of offshore boats and in rough water, Marks boat has them all beat. It may not be the fastest boat but in bad water he will get there first.

12-28-2009 02:44 AMThis is so great to see.As a kid going to the offshore races in Point Pleasant Beach and Atlantic City...the 41ft Apaches were always my favorite Open Class boats.Watching Bob Saccenti and Ben Kramer run "Warpath" in the huge swells during the 1985 Point race was unbelievable!!!!!!!!They were literally flying, and not even the bigger and more powerful Superboat Class boats could run with them.Unfortunately; some mechanical problems forced them out of the race,but they would have won overall going away.I remember the "Popeyes" 50ft aluminum Cougar Cat ran very well...but was badly damaged and almost sunk at the docks after winning the Superboat Class...which indicates just how rough it really was.
Thanks again for bringing these great boats back out to the race circut!
