I spent some time going over the boat with Mark. Following is a link to my comments on the other site. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/apache/309116-incredible-apache.html I was in Fort Myers today for business. Mark invited me to stop by the shop to catch up and visit with Raju - the...

One of those Perfect "10" Florida days. Thanks for the hospitality riding aboard Predator Bob. Thanks again to all of the participants for helping us fund those scholarships. We'll work on an equally enjoyable schedule of runs for next season. Tom C.

This is the boat that started my love affair with Apache. My house in Harvey Cedars NJ was a card stop for the one of the NJPPC poker runs in which this boat participated. Everyone at my house, and the neighbors, simply stopped what they were doing and stared open-mouthed when this boat pulled...

Actually, one of McManus' customers did the medallions on his CNC machine. The medallion Rob has was donated by McManus to raise scholarship money for the survivior of the Powerplay crash off Marco Island a few years ago. Rob contributed significant bucks for the medallion in auction on the...

Makos are not made by Brunswick. The Mako name and molds are owned by Tracker Marine, the maker of Tracker pontoons and Tahoe boats, wholly owned by Bass Pro shops. So, if you consider Bass Pro Shops to be the Wal-Mart of outdoors, consider whether or not you want your boat made by the same...

The 38 in question suffered a complete saltwater submersion. As I understand it, for an extended period of time. Both engines are locked up. Consider this particular boat to be a functional hull and deck only, needing complete re-rigging. What's the boat worth under those circumstances ? I...

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Mom did not make it to the surgery. She passed away early on Monday morning. Like most mothers, she will be missed. Thanks again, Tom C.

Fellow SOS'ers: My mom is scheduled for open heart surgery on Tuesday morning. She is having a double bypass and an aortic valve replacement. Although common surgery these days, her other medical complications make these procedures very high risk. Without the surgery, the physicians give her...

What a great thread ! Thanks for posting this info Steve1. Tom C.

Logically, one could try Apache Powerboats. 239-454-1114. I'm pretty sure they are in stock.

Back to Ultimate Warrior.... It's been redone at Apache Powerboats with new paint, engines, drives, rigging, and interior. Should be on it's way to Europe in a few weeks.

"Change" you can believe in .......

Bobby owned what rights ? Who assigned them to him ? If you read the court proceedings, the DOJ assigned them to McManus at the conclusion of their actions with Kramer. Again, not getting into whether or not the rights should have been assigned to McManus, or Saccenti, or Eric, or anyone else.

This may seem to be a trivial question, but here goes anyway; Cashbrain indicates that he sold the rights to Apache, that were assigned to him by Saccenti. Now, acknowledging that Saccenti is a builder of great renown and without getting into the argument over who builds a better boat, what...

Done. I couldn't find the link to donate to keep you locked up. I'm keeping some in reserve til I find it. Tom C.
