New 42 Apache

[Cuda]

It's at the FTL boat show.

---------I like it! Going against the current step fad if I see the pics correctly. Very CQQL...........Bill S

[Cuda]

Yes, no steps and no wild paint job. :)

[Cuda]

Some nice looking rigging too.

[BUIZILLA]

Only 1 set of exhaust headers for all 4 banks?

[ToonaFish]

I heard that Martha Stewart contributed to the paint scheme...

[gcarter]

Only one heat exchanger too. :smash:

Giggle Giggle! Wait until they show them fully rigged it will look like pipe organ.
Stepped hulls seem to come and go, at any antique boat show there are always a few pic below of 1920 step hull. The Italians had a bunch of race boats with steps back a few years ago. How many have run a late model Regal? Though not running the speeds that our classics run they do run fast with moderate power and corner like they are on tracks. I ran a 23 Regal express with a 320 Volvo it ran 53 on GPS, not bad. To get them to corner well they reverse the last few feet of inner strakes, I have seen a few other production boat with the same design. Maybe Donzi will play with that on a future 22C.

That boat is cool and all but in the real world just how many boaters can afford to buy something like that?

Show me something I can afford!!! :biggrin.:

[Walt. H.]

Yeah!!
and then consider insurance premiums or a company that would take it without giving you a price that is really telling you that they don't want ya! :bonk: Or the cost to feed that baby behemoth per hour. :confused:

But those twin superchargers sure do look purdy. :biggrin.:

This boat from the 20's made me smile.
I read about a NY millionaire in the early 30's had a large commuter built with a step. Now most of these stepped hulls of that era were dead flat across the trailing edge of the step.
Well, one Sunday afternoon the owner took a bunch of his friends for a ride across the sound. The following day he instructed his builder to remove the step after about half of his guests had to have their dental work redone. :kaioken:

How do #6 drives and 1075's equate to an additional +- $300,000 over entry level or basically "double" the price?

[gcarter]

I would guess some imported racing diesels like Seatecs would be even more...
eh Poodle? :shocking:

[Cuda]

If I remember correctly, the 1075 package with number six drives goes for $149,000.00, EACH! But bear in mind, that does include a free fifty hour rebuild. :shocking:

[Cuda]

I read Sonic actually built the hull. Do you know anything about that Scott?

[tamburello]

I believe that the Apache that was supposedly being built with the help of Sonic is the work of the Apache USA company headed by Thad Allen. As is typical with an Apache story it is waaaay too confusing. Thad's Apache Co. is completely separate from McManus's Apache and the two entities were until recently disputing the rights to the Apache name in court. Well, as of this last week it seems that McManus has the rights to the name and an actual boat to go with it and Thad doesn't seem to have anything.

At any rate, it's great to see the return of the legend with some exciting new boat designs. I wonder if they'll like to play in the rough stuff like the old ones do.

Don't quote me on any of this, the facts are hard to separate from the fiction.

Poodle, have you seen the line drawings up close, the 30' Rebel lookos like a sit down boat, is that right ?

[Lenny]

[JimG]
