South Jersey guys. What was the name of the sit-down 45' (or it could have been a 47') triple engine beast in the early 1990's? It was always around the Somers Point, NJ area. I thought it had the name "Fire and Ice" on the side of the boat. I know it ran on race fuel because I remember smelling the exhaust one day as it idle past.
This would be the same time as the 42' Cigarette "Smokin" was kept in Somers Point, and Joe Mancini's 95+mph 38' Cigarette.
Where did this Apache go? And what was it name? The hot-rodders back then said that the boat was something like $650K new back then.

I think you might be thinking of Bobby O's boat. Firewater it is a 47' with a pleasure setup attached is a photo. The boat runs over 100mph and has 3 huge HP stotler Motors. If this is the boat you are thinking about it is still owned by Bobby and i see it out at Trump every once and a while in AC.

Pretty sure that's the one (it must be). It would be at the Waterfront (that's what the dockside/restaurant used to be called) in Somers Point by the Ninth Street bridge every so often.
Sharp boat. My father ran that boat and "Smokin" one day, a three way mini-drag race. My father told me was beaten by the Apache, no doubt about it.
One beautiful boat.

Yes we are! First time we've ever done anything like this.
We trailer up to the islands a few hours away, but we've never trailered out of state with our boat in tow. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time, but we're looking forward to a great time in Cambridge.Queen of Bammin'
