well these knuckle heads that I bought it from used a razor blade and were scraping off the imron paint and "shaved" the surface back to white
I am going to paint the entire boat cadillac Pearl white with the Interlux Perfection base epoxy enamel and PPG Concept clear with a TON of the pearl powders I get from my art store and HOK.
Ill take and dump a few bottles of the powder into a gallon of clear and shoot the boat with 4 thin layers of powderd irridecent clear then 3 medium layers of just clear
Then the graphics will go on over the clear then the boat will get cleared again over the graphics without any powder in it at all.
She will shine and have that DEEP paint look!

Have come a LONG way with my painting skills since then though and have invested in a LOT of new guns and airbrushes and compressors and such,Hell I airbrush everything I can get my hands on, hell I airbrushed my engine block and heads in my 1977 trans am

Apache story - well, I'll give it a shot based on what I read here on OSO.
First, there was this guy, see, and he got together with these other guys, and they built this boat that was based on the design for this other boat, but kind of not like that other boat, and they raced it and did really well with it. And then the guy (not the other guy but the other other guy) maybe sold some of the boats to these other guys that didn't race them but did drive them fast (wink wink) and it was a bad thing but everyone did it back in the day, kind of like wearing leisure suits and dancing to the Staying Alive soundtrack. Then one of the guys had a disagreement with the other guy and paid some guy to have the other guy knocked off but it was never proven but the guy went to jail, where he remains to this very day.
Next, one of the guys started a new company not Apache but building Apaches that weren't Apaches they were Comanches but both tribes were from the southwest not Florida but I digress. So this guy is building boats that aren't Apaches but maybe are. Then some guy in Michigan builds some boats that aren't Apaches or Commanches in fact they are not "ches" at all they are Sabers (maybe Saberche but the che was inadvertently left off?). Finally some other guy named Ted (correction, Thad - thanks Roger1) started to build Apaches but turns out he did not have the rights or wrongs to build an Apache or a Comanche or any kind of che for that matter - it was truly deep kim-chi at that point (but the boats were not Oriental, they were American, dammit!). Jayl13 moved to Florida to help after his deeply moving and poignant publishing of "THE BAJA CHRONICLES: An Exposition on Insanity Set on an Old Cheap Performance Boat (subtitle - I shoulda got a survey!)"
Then these other guys started building a new boat only it was not new it was old or maybe only half old but it did involve one of the original guys but not the one in jail or the dead one so it was kinda sorta a "real" Apache even though the "che" was on the front of the name not the back and there was an "i" and an "f" involved as well. The crew included Stinson who was worldwide in Indiana or Pennsylvania I think. Boatme was involved and was not running a fun poker run at the time, and MitcherT was going to paint them even though it was a not-Apache Chief instead of a Sunsation. Then lots of drama and soap opera started and the boat was new or not new and it was good or bad and then it was finally delivered and it was banged up. Add more drama, boat got fixed, then went up for sale. (during this time the maybe real Apache Commanches were still built in Florida, sometimes, it was hard to tell). The new Chief was for sale for a long time and then maybe it sold because it was not in the classifieds anymore.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, Fred Cecil did not appear to be involved in any of this.
Then the interwebs were invented and el indio also known as magnum mark came on to post some incomprehensible stuff that READ LIKE AN ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE TERM PAPER ALL IN CAPS.
In between, the internet has confirmed that all 10,423 Apaches ever made in size between 2'6" and 128' are strong enough to replace the Brooklyn Bridge in a pinch and you can run them full throttle at 253 mph through a category 6 hurricane without spilling your drink or mussing your gen-u-wine Don Johnson pastel jacket.
I think that about sums it up - did I miss anything?
P.S. Any rumors that Viagra is simply a pill form of the resin used by Apache is completely false. Don't believe everything you read.

You left out the part about Thad Allen....
Thad Allen and Billy Dalton got into a drinking contest one night at a bar up in Fon du lac Wisconsin where Billy works on a dairy farm. One thing led to another and to make a long story short, Thad was seriously injured in a "cow tipping" accident. Thad, being a city kid, was unfortunately on the wrong side of the cow when Billy, powerfully built from years of hard work on the farm gave ol' Elsie the heave-ho.
I don't have any further information as to his condition but I did hear that Billy feels just terrible about the incident.
