    There were plenty of Aronows, Apaches, Ciggys, USAs, Magnums, Panteras, you name it and you saw it there. I was lucky enough to visit in the early '90's and see a lot of it. Most of the factories were closed because it was the weekend but we got to walk around Fort Apache for quite some time. Cool place.

    Used to be my favorite street. now it's all gone. No better place to be than there early in the morning. From Dons old office at Cig you could hear all the boats firing up and echoing up and down the canal.

    Man if that didnt give you goosebumps nothing will.

    same here, I thank my dad for taking me down there when I was young. As I grew older I used to drive down there in the car and check out the boats until I was 18 and had my 24 Pantera, then I used to go down there to have luch at the bar. I really miss that place.

    My last time there was spring of 1992. Was there looking at a 28 Apache and was overwhelemed with all of the hardware. Dan Campbell had a 4 engine cat he let me climb om board and look around. Guy showing me the baots was Rick Conti, is he still around?

    I had a chance to visit in early 90's. We showed up at Apache.
    Bob Saccenti was there and invited us in and showed us around !!!!!!

    While we were there a big go-fast (different brand) limped in with a crack
    around the midship. Apache used their hoist to lift the the wounded the boat out.

    Bob was explaining to the cracked boat owner why he wanted an Apache so
    we wondered over to the bar. On the way back Bob ran into us and pointed
    out some of really special boats that were racked at the fort !!!

    What a day !! I have been hooked ever since !!
