The Apache Still has it...

[Sean Stinson]

If anyone hasn't done so already, go to http://www.predator41.com/ and watch the 2006 races.....

2006 Key West Race 1, 98 mph @ 5400 rpm.
2006 Key West Race 3, 101 mph (6 minutes in; "whoah, 101, god damn it, we're ok tuck it in")

They were consistently watching their speed in race 3 which leads me to believe the boat is sub 101+ mph. I don't how much above 101 but logic would lead me to believe it's definitely over 101

Great way to start any day!


2006 SBI NATIONAL RACE RESULTS
Miami, FL 1
Ft Lauderdale, Fl 1

I can buy 100+ but 110+ isn't happening....sorry most of Tommys engines are 5800 RPM so 400 rpm wont give you 12mph hell I will even give you 6200 and it wont give you 12 mph

they raced the 2006 season in P3

According to the SBI standings for 2006 it was P2 thats why I corrected myself I thought it was a P3 boat as well just didn't have the photo in front of me!!!! Anyway P3 at 101 is really breaking out if you ask me!!!!

[Sean Stinson]

Hold on a second it was a P2 boat for awhile

[Sean Stinson]

And in that photo it's definitely hauling a$$

they ran p3 during the season, and I believe were moved up to p2 for kw. the shamoo fountain won p2 national title that year i believe.

MY BOAT NO BS WILL RUN BETTER THAN 105MPH ON A GOOD DAY WITH 950HP NA ENGINES. IN A BOAT VERY CLOSE TO THAT ONE IN WEIGHT. GOOD PROPS HALF LOAD FUEL 6700RPM 29"PROPS SLOWER PROPS ON GPS 30" 6200 103MPH WITH A ENGINE EATING A PISTON IN FLAT WATER.

38 Cig, 1200 Chiefs,,in race setup 105+ and its lighter then 41 Apache.

Someone should have told them to pull out the anchor.

Love your 41. In my opinion one of the best. Dont you think your boat could go another 8mph faster if it had 500 hp more?

[14 apache]

Yes I do! I think my boat will run 109 every thing right. Thats fresh water cooled extra 300lbs in boat + running circulator pumps!

Nobody is disputing that fact.....I am disputing 113 in a 41 period.....The possibility exists but the probability does not!!!!

[Sean Stinson]

I think we should have a contest of all the fastest Apaches to come and run in a winner take all kind of contest!!!! But you have to break 110!!!!

[Sean Stinson]

StarChaser ran in the mid to high 90's with 780 HP N/A Zul's back in the day....

Have you weighed Starchaser? How much does it weigh?

[DAREDEVIL]

All this about who has the fastest sounds to me like back when i was young,,,who has the biggest...PEOPLE,,its what u do with it and how !!!!!!


Who cares how fast and which one the fastest is ,,they are all cool boats and people that own them and take care should be proud !!!!!!!!!

[MikeyFIN]

Scotty Scotty..now all Apache threads turn into P- contests...so you should know better

Now ONCE AGAIN Which one is the Fastest Apache, LOL... ???:rant::nopity:

[14 apache]

Have you weighed Starchaser? How much does it weigh?

The boat weight is around 9600.lbs may be a little lighter than that.

[Sean Stinson]

I was told it was 9200 lbs dry.....original set-up!!!!!

[thedonz]

Predator ran P3 one full season with us, than when they switched to #6 drives they ran P2 and won that same yr the worlds. It was fast they were leaving behind most of the super v's. The yr they won the worlds ( 2006 i think )instead of trailering it back to key largo they ran it back by water. I have ridden that boat and it's fast. Our gun with twin 1200 Cheifs has runs 112mph.....

[MikeyFIN]

And Predator is faster....so light is right
How about a number on Predators weight...close to Magnum Marks @ 8600 (loaded I´ve heard) ?
