I MENTIONED A COMPARISON? I went directly off of your quoted statement. Please, feel free to refresh my memory!!! Apache's excellent safety record is tied, directly, to the fact that they have not put out that many boats in the last few years.

Without el indio's boat there wouldn't be a lot of funding for boat projects, in the early days, for Apache. There may not be any checkered flags for that white and red boat, but, there is a lot of history behind it. It is lightweight and able to hold a few tons of cargo. Old and tired? Maybe(I haven't looked at the structure of the boat). But one thing is for sure...he USES the boat and runs it frequently.

Nope, I don't see any mention of another powerboat company. My comments are focused on Mark McManus' powerboat building prowess. Also, now that you mention it, Apache does have an excellent safety record.

Allez Vite is a awesome Apache with a race history! Money is the key ingredient for any high end powerboat. I follow every Brinks truck I see hoping a large bagful of cash will fall out. LOL!
Enjoy this video of Allez Vite.

AWSOME !!! i hope she is still dialed in like that !!!!

And if only 1 cig could run like that then they would be ok in my book !
But i guess thats only when they raced at 65-70 MPH back in the days,,,the cig's i mean.LOL

Also the throttle man in the ALLEZ VITE,,i hope has learned how to do this better,,he missed allot. HEHE

I believe that Predator was a light layup, does anyone know for sure?
