Wonder how much longer the starbaord engine lasted with no water coming out of the exhaust?

McManus Apache

The first 38 foot fiberglass cat raced in the Marathon Keys race with Ben Kramer driving and Bob Idoni throttling in 1987. The boat did very well and was sold that day when returning to the dock and it was shipped to Japan with new engines within 30 days. I built all the race and pleasure versions of the Apache 38 in kevlar.

Scott, the boat pictured was raced in 86, I am pretty sure that it was mostly wood. It was a Michael Peters designed Mealstrom / "APACHE"
