This one is a bit confusing. Isn't the Brave a 28' and the Scout a 21'?

Did the Scout actually measure 22 1/2 centerline?

Hey Frank, how are you doing? But yours is a Scout, correct? I'm trying to figure out how there was a 22 1/2' Brave. I'm actually wondering if it's a real Apache at this point.
 
That is a cool project you have going, Frank. That is going to be a really cool little machine!
 
Thanks. It's been a really fun boat to use when not running the big boat. The kids enjoy it too.

Below is the first day on the water last year after reviving the boat from Hurricane Sandy. Also a video of the first fire-up a few weeks ago with the new 355" I built this winter. Should be finished with the dyno in the next 2 wks, hoping for 450hp.
 
Firing it up on the garage floor is just too cool!!!:26:


What kind of performance increases are you hoping for?
 
The 2nd boat posted also looks like a regular Scout and my guess is it's a typo on the length.

Last year the Scout ran 63 mph with a stock 300 hp, 350mpi so I'm expecting to see low 70's. In my late teenage years I worked on this boat and at the time it had a 400 hp, 383 in it. It supposedly ran 72 so I'm using that number as my bench mark.

Apache scout west coast

To all. Just purchased the scout. 6 grand. The boat is all original and very low hours for it age . No modification what so ever not even a stereo . The out drive has very little paint wear looks like the boat has about 300 hours. Boat was always stored inside:hurray:
 
I think you did awesome on the price. If it runs and there is no wood rot, you have yourself an awesome piece of Apache history to play with for a real bargain.

Will you it in the Sacramento River Delta or the Bay?
 
I will post more pics after work. Not sure if I will run it in the bay salt water . The top of the bay is 20 min from house . The boat has never been in salt water . The boat is a virgin unmolested . I would bet this is the cleanest unrestored Apache scout . I will post photos and videos in the coming weeks
 
image.jpg. Look close at pics 1986 small block you can tell by the valve covers Look at the original steering wheel in perfect shape . Still has the original apache center cap
 
Pressure test the exhaust manifolds and check the riser gaskets. Split the alpha and do the gaskets and impeller. The rest I would play by ear with an SBC.

As for your paint question elsewhere... hard to tell the original paint scheme, because they were all different.
I know Gail did the Braves, but I can't remember if she did the Scouts. Might be worth asking her.
