12-15-2009 11:26 AMOffshore Racing wasnīt designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.

I always thought it was funny to see the race course actually DRAWN out with permanent marker, on the dash of some older race boats I've seen. It still cracks me up to see the taped "lap stickies" on the dash of the newer ones, especially with all the technology out there now.
Some old tricks will always work the best I guess!

There is still nothing cooler than the old school racing of the 80's. True warriors at sea!!!

12-15-2009 12:32 PMNo problem Frank. The goal of this website from the beginning has been to treat it like ones house, garage or bar. In the beginning, we only invited people who we would invite over for a beer to our place. As the site grows, the need for a bouncer at the bar has come about. I'm asking people to act like you would if you were hanging out in person. Don't say anything from behind the keyboard that you wouldn't say in person in these threads.
That having been said, it is winter and this is the apache section. Maybe we can have just one thread where there are no rules???
Probably not.....but it doesn't mean that we can't try.

12-15-2009 02:40 PMFrank if you look at the photo you posted of Leathal Weapon and then look at the photo I posted in the 41' race boat registry page you will see that the exhaust was moved from above the transom to thru the transom. This is where the exhaust is today, just something I noticed looking at the pictures.

That is correct. They did try a different exhaust system at the time which is why is was relocated. I remember looking at Lethal Weapon in the wet pits and just admired it. Beautiful boat. I was also about 12 years old at the time

We have probably the smallest and slowest Apache on here!
She sure is a fun boat though. Lots of questions and compliments around the docks.
