Warpath do you have a bigger picture of your Avatar? Thanks for sharing...

[Geronimo36]

your welcome.

Warpath, do you happen to know the HIN on your boats? First Apache was the Warpath, maybe the first pleasure boat was second then the yellow rabbit, then the banner boat for the apache challenge??

Thanks dude!!!

So 003 was probably the first pleasure version.... I remember hearing from Bob that he had Ben build the hull/deck and Bobby turned it into a pleasure version, first one built! I'll have to confirm.

That deck looks pretty good I think

Certainly does but why is it different? Was it built like that or have they modified it?
As far as Comanche and Apache are concerned I do not know if these lines can be seperated like some people do on other threads. The brochure of the Comanche 42 shows 'Ultimate Warrior' on the front page.

From what i remember each Apache/ Comanche were custom build to the original owner and not 1 of them was exactly the same; sorta like a Skater

As far as I know it is the only one it did have the original Apache deck at one time have pics somewhere of it and then it went through a total refit and it is as you see it now!!!!

So it looks like the first pleasure version the Bobby built may have been AB841003M85A if the Banner boat is AB841004?85A??? Are the letters before the year the build month?

Looks like the Apache deck... Possibly later on the deck was modified because in order for it not to be a "splash" you need to change more than 1 thing aobut the boat!

During the Comanche error I heard a few "apache's" were thrown in.

In retard terms please???

In retard terms please???

Warpath I HIN:AB841001F84A
So, we know that the beginning is the Apache manufacturerer, the middle is the length 41', the serial number is 001 in this case, and the F84A means the boat was built in August 1984. I hope this helps, and I hope I am applying what I just learned correctly!

[Geronimo36]

Thanks. Don't mind me, it's been a long day and I was being lazy and didn't want to read/digest the factual info you posted!

Oh yeah, like they'd risk that.........
