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

[Steve 1]

I've built a 38 PP with arneson ASD7's and everything from 525's to 800's in my head at least 250 times. 525/XR run ~84, so I'm thinking 525/ASD7 could hit 90+!!!

I don't know why none of the 4 boats with 750's used arnesons?? They all went bravo's, now 1 has BMAX, and 1 has Konrad ACE. Not sure of the drives on the Temper Tantrum "Taz" boat? The 4th did the whole pulse drive debacle thing.

Myself that Diesel/Arneson is off the hook and with a huge range, The other PPs I would guess customer preference on the drive selection.

I agree the Diesel boat is sweet. Speaking of range, that one obviously has saddle tanks. Belly tanks hold 250, saddles hold maybe (50 gal?) each for 350 gal of diesel. Boat should have a huge range. Any idea of MPG at cruise?

I know customer choice, just can't figure out why people put bravos on 600+ custom horsepower engines.

By the way, Thanks again for the pics, knowledge, history, and time on the thread!!!

That was a cool boat,I think they made them repaint the sides on it for PG reasons.

NICE, the detail is cool...any close up from the speaker handle on the back seat ????? LOL:USA::sifone:

I will check through my file of pictures, the mattress in the berth on that boat was custom made by a yacht outfit that specialized in supplying those.
