I've seen a photo from the early 80's of the start of the KW worlds with Warpath and Della Valle's Rothmans CUV (among other famous race boats) squared off head and I wondered what the outcome of that race was? The CUV's have had a long and successful racing history (similar to the Apache's without all the South Florida drama) and it's cool to see two greats going toe to toe...
Also I built several 28’ Braves with outboards .. The 28’ Apache Brave also performed nicely with outboards..
Story about pictured boat.
The client that ordered the boat was from Colombia.. When the boat was ready for export, the owners partner show up with the buyer. They started arguing .. It seems that the partner wanted a fishing type boat.. So to make everybody happy I installed two Lee rod holders on the rear deck and saved the day.. They both left very happy and smiling..
