Served !!!!

[Ratickle]

That's all you've got?

Severely disappointed......

Hard to believe this is an original Apache 47.

If I dropped a skater on a sea wall and broke it in half and then used some of the parts to make a tugboat it wouldn't still be a skater.

Misspoke, Hard to believe this Was an original Apache 47.

I wonder why there is no new information on the performance?

[fund razor]

[Ratickle]

Still no new performance info.

I'm with you, except I'm extremely skeptical and want to see proof.....

I just found this thread...its definitely not an Apache you are correct...you guys are funny

As far as performance goes, it only tops out at 63 mph with about a 1 mpg burn rate at 5k rpms. STILL haven't re-proped the engines. It gets worked almost every weekend so re-proping hasn't been in the front of my mind. It will get 1.4 at 40+ mph loaded for a trip with 18 tanks, 250 gallons of fuel and 1k lbs in ice. It will run on the 2 outside motors over 50 mph and it will plane on the center motor if the outside ones are trimmed up. Boat, motors and 100 gallons of fuel came in at just over 9k lbs.

Flame away...death threats are welcome too, just make sure you come in person to deliver them ;-)

Holy year old conversations.

1,000 pounds in ice. Got to keep the fishies cold?

I'm usually a little late to the party.

Ice is for an overnight dive trip.

Just went back and re-read the Thread...You've got a killer sense of humor..


About those windows though

[Ratickle]

I think this is cool actually.

The Comanche bottom is a splash of the original Apache 47, just built by Mark instead of Bobby.

I have to believe that boat would get you home in almost any conditions. And, it must be a wave crusher.

Now, it may need 3 of the new 450 V8 outboards.

By the way, the death threat joke was an homage to the old Apache threads of OSO.

Nothing to do with this thread.

If you look at that 35 mistress with the ghetto wrap, and then you look at the green outboard machine 47 Comanche, the 47 actually looks good. Sort of want.

Had to zoom in. It looks good.

How far out do you go in the Gulf? Run into any big stuff yet?
