JT, the sad thing is the boat was intact (except modified to staggered twins and white paint job) with all the rigging, race cockpit, dash, saddle tanks, tabs, etc. etc. until about 1999. That's when the "Geni-ass" owner decided to hack it apart and turn it into a pleasure boat. Had the cockpit been left alone and just recovered, brought up to date with some new gages, etc., the only thing left to do was sand the white paint off and drop in a couple of Big Sterlings or Chiefs and the boat would run and be worth some $$$$.

It was truely one of the most badd azz Apache's ever built. I can remember getting beat up in my little Velocity running Biscayne Bay in the late 80's and the Ceaser boat came up from behind and passed me like I was standing still!!! The sound of the tripple blower motors howling was enough to scare the life out of anybody within earshot!!! Some day that boat will be back on the water...........and the Atlantic ocean will shudder again!!

The original "Little Ceasers" race boat is for sale in the classified adds. It has been dorment for over 11 years now.
The boat was converted to twins/# 6's and raced as the "Flyer", bulkheads have been removed in the bow, the race cockpit has been removed and the conversion to a pleasure boat cockpit with a 1/2 cabin was started but never finished. If you sand away the white paint, the original "pink" Little Ceaser's paint job lies underneath. I worked with the owner when he had a Fountain dealership in Lighthouse Point but haven't spoken to him in 3 years......It's a shame that someone hasn't brought this piece of Kramer history back to it's glory....
