I grew up going to the races when racing was racing, 80's. Ive looked at most everything out there. Yes, the new technology is very fast, however, i dont believe the quality is the same. Im not looking to glass my boat back together after races like i see alot do today. Also, when i was racing in the bounty hunter, 79 cigarette, just the history of the old boats create some much attention and inspiration, kinda like an old restored classic car. Ive always admired the lines of the apache and was looking for a 3 man standup. Its not easy being 6'8". I tried "shoehorning" myself into some of these canopied boat,(cool looking boats) just not very practical. I believe i can get everything im looking for from my apache. No issues with trailoring and permits (cats), can store in my dads shop, can fit on our lift at the house (no modifications), and will be very fast!
