Look foward to seeing more vid and any updates with your hull.


Hey Mart, you build a very nice Apache hull and this white one looks awesome!!! ..... good price too.

Sent you email regarding shipping cost for one to me in OZ!

Cheers
Chris

Mart I have been having a heck of a time accessing and posting on RCU recently.  The indian head looks great, it's a very clean boat.

A little story to share. As you know my son and I run the Apaches just about every Saturday. A few weeks ago I was out at the lake with some freinds. It just so happens that an R42 driven by one of them died and veared into my lane. I had about 10' to slow down and avoid a collision. Well slowing down from 50 and trying to guess which way he was heading didn't work out as good as it should have. The WaveRider drove right over the top of the R42 using the spark plug as a ramp.  I was sure that the once I got it back on shore I would find a nice hole to patch up. I'm sure it doesn't come as a surprise to you that the only damage to the Apache was a small half inch scratch that just made it thru the top coat of the gelcoat and never got to the cloth. Looking at the R42's spark plug it was very clear that the only point our two boats touched was at the spark plug. The ceramic was sheard clean off.  I have to thank you agian for building one tough boat.

Here are some pictures.  Well I guess not, I give up, maybe I'll try the pics again later this weekend.

Leo
