[QUOTE=NJgr8ful;12279]Jim,
Love the Scouts. I want to get a 21-24' Apache, Cig, Pantera or something in that range as a second boat. QUOTE]
Ahem.....speaking of bloodlines....in a 24 foot no less....why don't you take this home with you from Key West? Demos are made to be sold at some point.
We will be down there on Thursday through Sunday with a slip at the Banana Bay Marina.

Would love that Charlie ... but wife would have other words to describe that purchase. My intentions are to pick up something in the 21-24' range and make a project of it. Good luck showing that beautiful piece down in the Keys. I am sure it's new owner will be absolutely thrilled with their purchase for many years to come.

That is something that Brownie designed for this boat and Stainless made it up for us. It is made to follow the lines of the V, so that when it runs in the rough stuff it thinks it is a 28 footer not a 24, works pretty neat. I turned to my old friends to make this latest version of an old favorite the best it could be. Bobby Saccenti did the layup schedule for me, with no wood used, all composite and we saved 1/3 of the weight of the former boats.

Fully understand about wives....however, one of our former customers just traded up to a new boat....... and we have his very clean 24 available, with or without the engine, or with a brand new engine of your choice.
I'm not going to make this easy for you. The boat is presently in Massachusetts, not far from Jersey.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

Nothing in the world like an Apache. Bob, I don't know if you remember me, but my Dad and I met you and Ben and Jack at Fort Apache in 85. My Dad bought the red, white and blue banner boat, along with a few others. I got to go for a ride with you and Ben in Warpath, and although I had been racing for 2 years at that point, it was the thrill of my life. Although my Dad died years ago, reading all of the stories on this board bringsback my fondest memories of him.

Mr. McCarthy or Mr. Saccenti,
Sleekcraft says its 34 Heritage is an Aronow hull. True or false?

This is the best thread I have read in some time. I could read this stuff all day long.
We love our 36' and couldn't be happier to have it. Every time we go somewhere in it there will be someone at the docks that comes over to check it out and ask questions.

11-07-2008 12:55 PMWhen someone asks me if it's a Cigarette boat I say; "Close! It's better than a Cig, it's an Apache."

Any idea how many orginal 41' boats were made? I'm talking about when the Kramers were around.
