For those wondering about Apache, they are out of business. BUT- the molds were bought by Bob Saccenti (throttle man in this vid) and he started Chief Powerboats with them. First boat out of the mold was "first mohican" and featured a killer Mitcher T paint job. Look into it.
He was arrested for drugs or traffiking. Drugs were found at Apache Headquarters. His boat was confiscated in Bay City Michigan. Ben was on his way to an offshore event there. If I am incorrect please reply. Apache boats are still made today.
i do not think they are still being made. I have friends that have 3 41'Apaches. I will check.Mcmmanus was supposed to start but I do not think so. Let me know! Thanx for info. I thought it was drugs.
yes this person is correct and im not sure theyre still made anymore and the man who formed apache was suspected to have kill don aranow the man who created cigarette and donzi
Anyone know what happened to this actual hull ( Ben's boat #49 ) ???

The announcer is another legend Mr. Rich Luhrs T2X as many have come to know his as on many Offshore forums.
Saber Marine has a set of molds and produces them as well but know as a 41' Banshe(sp) they are out of Michigan
