The boat has exactly 126 hours on the hull and I believe less on the motors, it is in a lot better cond. than I thought it would be for 25 grand, I kind of expected a basket case, it fired right up on the flusher yesterday with no problems, and everything work except 2 gauges and the bow light, and some other minor parts. What did suprise me was the cabin, it is large for a 28 ft boat, and mine look's like new(smells old) I think I got a great deal.
Good luck with the boat!! Enjoy it!

i am going to update the dash, fix some small marks in the paint, update some the electronics, leave the motors alone, except for a carb job, new sea water pumps, and basic items, plugs, wires and cap. I will run it like it is for this year, and see what happens, I cant believe how much these Apache 28 are sought after, and the amount of people looking for one!

Smart... just get those things done to get her reliable and enjoy it. This way, next year you'll still be making $ when you sell her to buy a 36.

I'd keep it the way it is.
