ok im finally going to chime in here with my .02!
if anyone thinks that buying a 17 year old boat is not going to have some problems then you are completely delusional. if you want an apache without any issues or problems go buy one new from mcmanus. otherwise weigh the good and the bad and make a freaking decision about it and move on. of course the boat has issues it doesnt take a high school diploma to figure that out. but dam if you think you are going to buy a 17 year old apache and not spend a dime on it i think you should find a different hobby. i bought my apache in december from shogren and read every post related to the boat and of course some a$$hole who had went and looked at it said it had stress cracks on it.... (no sh!t) well what he didnt see is what caused the cracks he was talking about, he just spouted off that it was a p.o.s. cause there was a couple of cracks on it. well the cracks were caused by the hydraulic cylinders that raised the hatches. EASY FIX we simply made braces to correct the problem and moved on with the project. stop bashing the guys boat and if someone is really serious about buying it let them make an educated decision themselves and give them useful info like how to correct the problems the WILL find after they buy it. and who cares if they travel to see it or not, small price to pay to find an apache
anyways im still a kid and i still LOVE my apache 41!

I appreciate everything you have said and everyone has told me that Apache is a good boat. And I wish that everyone would just let this go and let whoever is interested in this boat make their own decision.

COME ON SUMMER!!!! I'm running out of popcorn this winter from all the bulcrap that has been posted.
Seller says is what it is a once potentual buyer says what it is while other are looking on, if somebody is serious aobut the boat sure they will read here and other places to do research, but will also go see for themselves or have somebody they "trust" go look before they go. Don't know how much lunger a person can beat a dead horse but the way this thread is going were all about to see!

I appreciate your comment, I've been trying to get this message across the whole time.
Thanks,

If that is true then I want names. I spent 45 minutes looking at the boat in a low light area at that where I had seen all i could. There again you alter the truth to make you look better. And you would have to add about ten years to the boat FYI. This is so stupid. I have yet to bash the boat all I said was it needed work and then your only defense was Im a young kid and don't know anything about boats. Anybody will tell you it needs work and I agree its a 17 year old boat things are going to need to be fixed.
Yes it is true, you were probably there 45 minutes. I got there late, so you only saw the boat around 10 minutes, since you weren't authorized to go look at the boat. Yes it stupid, that you have spent all this time worrying about my boat. Like I said before, and I'll say it again, I am sure that anybody that comes and looks at this boat, will find someting wrong with it.
Let the buyer decide.

I am sure that whoever buys this boat will bring someone with them that is experienced in boats or have a survey done on this boat. They are welcome to do whatever they need to do to satisfy theirself.

Let the buyer beware of people that say things that are not true and have nothing else to do.
