I grew up in SWFL, making trips to South FL regularly to watch these races, to Sarasota, the East Coast of FL, since I was a kid (I'm 48). Watching the Apache's, Kramer, Saccenti, McManus run these boats has always been my absolute favorite. This particular boat has been a dream of mine to just take a ride on. The narrator nailed it at the end, "there are newer, faster, easier to run boats today, but this is a floating museum, a homage to powerboating's golden age. In one word, Perfect" is the absolute truth. I saw Lorne running into to Haulover about a year ago, I was headed out and that was the closest I've ever been to this 47. It was like looking at your childhood hero. Even better in person, and the way she sounds. Just magnificent. Thanks for sharing this video!
Wow, what a LEGEND !!, one thing I noticed was no drive showers, surely those drives would heat up badly ??, had bravo x drives on my old boat with 496 cube motors and that totally cooked the mineral oil to black in a few hours, fitted the showers, used redline 320 heavy shockproof oil and no dramas, totally silent gear shifts :)
I'm from MD and grew up going to Ocean City every summer and I made it my mission to spot my 2 favorite boats that I saw every year on or around the White Marlin Open they held every year to this date. Two Apache boats JENNY'S EXPRESS and the ULTIMATE WARRIOR. being a teen and still today getting the Motorboat &sailing magazine. I still have the issue from '87 when a Cigarette Top Gun broke 90mph a world record so I've always been a Cigarette fan and they were to only boats that could even come close to handling the seas an Apache could. I love these videos on your channel. They bring back awesome memories from childhood. Keep up the great work! Cheers
To be honest, I don't want to know how much money it costs to restore such a boat to yesterday's sesifications, but regardless if it is a 30 year old grocery getter or a powerboat, keeping such machines alive in there original conditions preserves the spirit of the people who created such machines.
That’s an awesome boat. I remember back when there were three and four engines. Love the middle drive is lower. Just a great boat. Hilborn injection on alky no doubt wow a great boat
Free them all. Has anyone noticed how many drug-addled freaks there are on any given day in any small town or city? What has 60 years of prohibition given us other than prison culture and cheaper, more plentiful, more destructive drugs? Time to accept locking people up only allows even worse people to take their place.
Love your channel!!! There was a yellow 41' around Galveston Texas in the late 80's early 90's. Absolutely astounding boat. Do you know who owns the Apache molds today? I thought i read at one time McManus had possession.
The only problem I see is the fuel injection setup they were never that reliable compared to today's Merc engines. Other than that the 47' is a great rough water boat.
@@johnmc1888@ johnmc1888 I beg to deffer. Having owned Foundtain and Raced a 41 Apache with twin 750 engines, I think I am cool enough. From a restoration point of view, they did a fantastic job. I got my insights about Apache boats after meeting with Bob Saccenti at Fort Apache back in the day. If you are cool enough maybe you have herd of him?
Like to know just how far the "restoration" was as far as replacing the 47s plywood, stringers, transome etc....... Hard to believe the "original" gellcoat and art-work stayed pristine over decades and world wide travels. I attended the KS&W Offshore Race Team Sal Magluta and Willy Falcon Federal Auction at St Augustine and still have a some of the seized inventory. I think they sold 19 boats...
Of all the boats to do a document on you had a pick the one or one of the ones that was run by a hard-core drug dealer that's what brought down offshore boating are used to run a boat in the races and when my sponsors found out that almost half the guys were running cocaine from the ocean back to the shore. They stopped to sponsoring meand that happened to a lot of the honest guys so you picked the guy Kramer who brought Ron running cocaine with offshore boats a big hobby or not a hobby a big business which killed the offshore industry great choice guys
Why did that chick have to do that double video thing when looking at the boat? Ruined the whole damn segment. There are LOADS of things that people would find very interesting in there! Give us the biggest, clearest picture possible!
