    Got to tell you guys about a funny episode ( well fun now...not at the time)
    which happened at Chicago International gate when I left Clearwater.

    I was proudly wearing my Team Warpaint-T (thank you Mr & Mrs Vesper) with a Jerseez longsleeve under it walking and looking around with my eyes wide open at everything when I saw a Customs official in his late 40īs stare like me like hes had golfballs going to orgasm for eyes and staring right at the Apache Powerboats Logo...

    Well Benny...seems they still remember....

    Well in the rough the new technology isnīt for any help if the A41 is also a light Racer as the speeds stay low.
    But make a A41 with nowadays Resins and layup... then see what happens.
    And in Cowes a boat from 1984 creamed everyone... dueling with the A41.

    Thats not what I was saying....what I am saying take any Apache Raceboat 41/47 from 84-94 as that was the original Apache years and put it up against anything from today in 6'+ seas and you will be amazed as to the outcome 9 out of 10 will go to the Apache!!!

    And itīs not the only boat from the old days capable of that in 6īs and up...unless itīs a buzzi or some other behemoth.
    Apache is a legend no doubt about it but not the only one either.
    Thenagain I reckon any other powerboat-T wouldnīt gotten the officials attention...

    Benny wasn't there.
    The customs (or maybe TSA) were in the moment.

    It's called profiling. You can wear whatever you want and the customs people will look at you extra.
