Apache Pic you don't often see

[boatme]

This was taken at Smoke On The Water 2001

I belive (Not for sure) This is the one that burned

[glassdave]

I thought the one that burned was a 47

[boatme]

You might be correct on that I was not sure

[Roger 1]

That is corrrect, the one that burned was a 47.

[Sea-Dated]

That is corrrect, the one that burned was a 47.

What a shame.....

[glassdave]

That is corrrect, the one that burned was a 47.

yep, thats a true shame. I have heard it still sits as in the pics. If any boat in the sport deserves to be resurected thats the holy grail right there. Anyone know where it is? i have seen other views of it and it looks savable. any other pics burned or not?


sorry for the thread hyjack Marc.

[boatme]

Roger is it still at Chris Merrils Shop?? I forgot i saw it there a few years ago (I am getting OLDTIMERS)

[Roger 1]

I don't know if it is still there or not. It's been a few years.

my buddy joe helped with all the air brushing on that boat. Pictures cant do it justice for all the attention to detail on that boat. Absolutly breathtaking!!!! Some where I have an article on it in a pin stripper book. I'll try to find it. Even the tailer had head dress beads painted on it. Man I would love to see someone bring that boat back. If I hit the lottery that could be my new project

There was a 36 that got burnt when it was repod. The owner was not giving it up. So I heard from a good source. It got a new deck in Ga.


Billy. ps. Montys was cool. My girl had a blast.

Montys is alway fun. I'm glad that you guys enjoyed your visit as well.

I have been looking for that article since i first saw the boat. That is actually why i think this is one of the greatest graphics jobs ever. Sure it may not be everyones "cup-o-tea" but from a technical stand point it is truly unbelievable. It was done before plotter style graphec and was pretty much free taped and cut. Simply amazing. Who is your friend and what shop was it done at? Just curious as i find it fascinating.

I understood the number was around a million was spent on that boat a friend of mine who is not easily impressed saw it and was floored by the paint work on it.

Billy you be carefull with those young girls, they may overload your pacemaker

[Sutphen39]

Ike out of PA owned the boat for a few years and ran it on the Chesapeak. Ike sold it a few years ago, I think to a gent down in Baltimore? Boat looked great last I saw it.

I'll second that, please post 'em Sean. I only have the ones i put up of the 47, would love to see a few more of detail if their out there.

[Bgchuby01]

Billy one of these days you may need help with your friends. I will call you about the boat movement

[Bgchuby01]

you milking the cows or them

[Bgchuby01]

Roger I think you and I need to go up there and investigate the proper way to milk a cow. These young farm hands need some help in the proper way to extract every drop.

Swing by kankakee on your way through with the boat and we can do a road trip. Billy might be young but it appears that he has the situation pretty well in hand.

Don't worry Jeff. I have and extra winter coat that you can borrow. I'd be more worried about your fuel gelling up as the mercury is dropping here!

his name is joe broxterman, he only help the other guy out. Its my understanding that main guy would fly in during the week to work on the boat somewhere in texas. If my memory serves me right it took almost three years to paint the boat, truck and trailer. The main guys name has slipped from my mind right now, i think that his name was alton? as soon as i find that article i will post it.
