Thad Allen's Apache + The Birth of the Cheetah Cat

[Ted]

I was told by the powers that be to keep everything here!

Steve, we are very happy you have posted this thread and you are more than welcome to post any and every thread you want, we had asked that you post on the one Political rant thread just because it was getting heated and rather than have to prune a bunch of different threads we wanted to condense it all, let you and everyone have their say and not have to moderate a bunch of different threads. On the other hand, this type of thread is your forte and provides some great information that I'm sure most people here have never seen. If you wanted to post 20 I'm sure we would eat it up. In fact it is this type of education and information that we sought when we built this site. So post whatever you can the knowledge and pictures you are sharing are much appreciated and personally to me, fascinating. :cheers2::cheers2:

Thanks so much for taking the time to do it.

That boat was out of the old Cobra hull mold also.

It was my dream boat too and fortunately I was privileged enough to own one for a few years.

Until there was a mold built for the race deck we spliced the Cobra back half to the PP deck,the B1 had this combo for the staggered motors.

Steve , in your post # 417 you stated that you were a Cat guy by nature and with no disrespect towards Apache , or V hull owners i do not want to go to Thad Allens Apache thread when when we are discussing the build of your boats ( cats ) for the pure fact that im truly much more interested in cats and your build from start to finish if you know what i mean .

Steve , i just thought that a Cheetah Cat thread would be more appropriate for the subject .

Take Care Boss.

[Steve 1]

I just noticed that the Steve's have Port and Starboard eyes in their av's.
Very nice subliminal.
Let me know when I should quit my job, and just come to work for you.

Steve..very nice....great job...Radio Active still looks good..I still get calls on that boat.

 

[Steve 1]

cowisl There were only 12- 28 PP's built so you may have a collectors Item

Jeff, nice to hear from you and I have been MIA for a few years, but the Radio Active was one of the most enjoyable boats I have ever had the pleasure to work on...I also enjoyed working on ?????'s boat, damn his name slips my mind (pool business in NJ), but you allowed me some additional freedom and had alot of the same tastes as me, LIKE PURPLE PAINT, and that made it more fun! Hope everything is going well and you still owe me a drink!

Send me a PM with your email and let's catch up a little!:cheers2:

Which was that?

I owned the yellow cobra before and the resin was tacky and never seemed to have fully cured in the cabin area. Was always curious why and what was used for resin?
