Apache Owners Check In!

[ChiefApache]

The only thing I would say your boat could use, that would really update the look, would be to either eliminate the bow rail, or install a more low profile one. Maybe update the bolsters, so that they don't stick up "quite" so far? I only say this, because they tend to break up the smooth lines coming from the faring & deck, since they are SO high! With your boat having the full cabin, and the nose not riding quite as high as the raceboats, less could be better up there.

I think the 41 Apache is the best looking Vee of all time, so the more streamline, or "sleek" they can look, the more it shows off the profile of the boat. No scoops, no rails or raised hatches, and a slightly lower but bolster back, sweeeet. :cheers2:

OMG you talked to Rob didn't you LOLOL? He wants to get rid of the bow rail. I said no way. I like the rail and I'm the one who is always on the bow. He had no rail on the Stinger when we redid that and he's banned from ever leaving me free hangin on the bow again. :willy_nilly: Lower profile? Hmmmm, possibly. I like the bow rail. He doesn't. I can compromise...eventually. :sifone:

We are going to decrease the height of the bolsters. We like the bolsters, especially in rough water. Rob wants to cut the bolsters down near the bottom and drop them down into the boat. They will not stick out and it will open up the cockpit a little more too.

Didn't Cimino have that boat? Last time I saw that boat it was not rigged..very nice !!

 

[Hannibal41]

cimino didnt own it, he was supposed to rig it with "HAWK" power. he then cut the exhaust with a saw zaw, really messed it up. still looking for him...byrd owned the boat and byrds friend brokered it. i looked at it hard after they corrected much of the Cimino F ups after my 1st 41 i always wanted another, should have never sold mine. was going to get big inch zul power i was told, but looks like 14 did a great job!

 

[Sean Stinson]
