Why are Apache's so great?

Frank
Post some more pics of Twistanna with those 6 drives. Also any info on how it runs with them as opposed to the 3A's. Tell about the engines, drive gear ratio's, speeds, all that good chit!

Twistanna belongs to a good friend of mine:)
It's rigged with brand new 6 drives this year but after a short while
one of the engine over heated and broke down so my friend Christer went mad and decided to take care of the boat during the winter.
So I think next summer will show more of the potenial this boat has.
He owns a engine shop here and are Merc dealer.
His website www.motorteknik.nu
I'll ask him what ratio the 6's are

Hey Mange,
I was checking out that website you posted. I see you guys have some great offshore powerboats in Sweden.

Yes we have some nice boats over:) The 41 Apache #57 has SSM6 to. I am not sure what power it has. The Hawk TopGun has SSM3 and 540's +700's.

Twistanna has 1.35:1 ratio.

Christer is the guy to the left on last picture

Manage, did Christer re-rig the boat himself? That had to be one helluva project!

Tell a few. That Apache used to really run well over some rough water. Especially around the tip of Sandy Hook.
Ed

I guess you saw us running. That boat can tear up the rough water. It's funny that we had the slowest boat but no one could ever pass us.

Steve always thought he was part of Miami Vice so he always carried a shotgun on board in case we ran into a drug runner. So one day we are running up the Harlem River & a homeless guy is holding a cinder block to throw at us so Steve goes down below gets the gun & points it at this guy, he just dropped the block & ran off the bridge.
