amen about the BS speeds.... when ever someone tells me a speed I automatically deduct 5-7 mph until proven otherwise and up to 10 depending on the person... I must have a fast 86+87 mph boat! ;)

Except MM..I have been on his boat in Florida @ 96 mph and I think they were the 750's,but, I could be wrong. I know he has different sets of motors and not sure which ones were in there.
 
We were also told our boat does 90MPH and we've seen 85. We didn't buy it because they said it went 90MPH, but geesh, say it goes 85.

Haha, I know what you mean. A 5mph jump on a heavy straight bottom while in smoother water ain't happenin, and I don't know why anyone would suggest that, but they do it ALL the time! I'm definitely talkin REAL numbers with ya. :cheers2:

We ran exactly 100mph to the DOT, in Parnell's Saber 41 on Lake Michigan a few years ago. It had no cabin, and a 5 man cockpit, running Chief 950's & full staggered 6's. I know it's not an "APACHE" by name, but being the exact some boat, it's good for a reference point.

I also rode in the 41 Saber "WickedWon" when Jim still owned it, which is when it was the fastest, & dialed in the best. It had 1350 Sterlings fully staggered on 6's, and we ran 113mph in the Smoke on the Water poker run.

I think WW might be the fastest 41 layed up.But it has huge power in it.

Know both boats!

And we know what WW will do!!! The new owner, Dan Adams, has had her down here to the islands a few times this past summer.

probably the blowers cause we were both running 80's coming out of Jones Inlet when it had the small ones. Have the GPS pic and Dee's pic to go along. :)

go figure, first time I met MM and Lucy I was on my Apache boat! ;)
 
If memory serves me correct, we were running against Parnell on his way back from the KW Poker Run...Mark was ON IT !!!
Drove it perfectly...

Could not ask for a nicer guy to own that boat as well. Dan is a great guy always willing to help a fellow boater!!
 
Hey!! Look!!

Jack discovered the signature feature. :)

I need an Apache jacket, or nobody will know how cool I am until like July.

Is Dan the guy that used to own a 28' Saber, Yellow/black stripe back around '95 - boat was named "Buzzin' By(e)" or something like that.
It used to put in at my marina in Rossford regularly and I remember seeing what a sharp set-up that was. I recall talking to the owner a few times, and just not sure if that name sticks, or if I have fewer brain cells now...

Sorry, didn't mean to Hi-Jack in the APACHE section, just always wondered whatever happened to that boat.
