That's it, nothing more ? I'm not trying to stir things up but just thought there was some history behind the name.

I never asked Bobby but I would assume it's because Apache's were the most fierce warriors... Bobby Also designed the Apache nickel head, it was a modified Indian Head Nickel. Jack Kramer helped Bobby get the original trademark for it....
What's interesting is the Apache indians were screwed by the US government....they may have the same feelings for the boat company... :(
Folks, I talked to bobby, I had some of my info wrong on the nickle. It was actually the $5 indian head coin that Bobby used for the Apache logo. Gail also did the lettering on the logo.
Also confirmed why Apache was the name.... My guess was correct for the most part but there's a lot more to it and it goes back to the Kilpatrick days when Bobby built the Squadron named Apache. All of this was before Kramer.
The guy in the Apache logo is actually Bobby. He's from the Awopaho tribe of Brooklyn.
