I bought these boats off a guy who was just going to throw them away (he said he inherited them from his wife's ex-husband)
The motors are probably junk, as well as the hardware.

I'm pretty sure the white one is a Aeromarine Apache 56, but does anyone recognize the motor? (promod homelite?):
Measures 15" by 56.5"




Next is a hull almost the same size as the apache but with a much shorter freeboard height:
Measures 15" x 56"



And last is a skinny hull that in my opinion looks really cool:
Measures 11" x 52"



I'm planning on fixing up at least one of them and probably sell the others.

Thanks for the help!!

the engine in the first one looks alot like a quickdraw 35cc which is a very good engine, the other 2 engines look like homelites, not as good as the quickdraw but still ok

the 2nd boat looks like someone got an apache and cut it down for less freeboard

3rd one i dont know

engineerjoe

Thanks jacob

wow, yep, it looks like a 35cc QD. [8D]

i don't think the second one is a cut down apache, the bottom of the apache is a much deeper vee (higher angle)

I would have said #2 was a badly cut down apache too. Certainly looks like the deck off one.

The QD may be a 32 or a 35 (QD made both over the years though not many 32's in circulation). I hope she looks better on the inside than the outside - certainly did not see a lot of love (And QD's need a lot of love). A trip to the Dr's may be in order.

All three look like they could be salvaged with some work.

yeah, I imagine that engine needs some help. Supposedly all these boats sat in a shed for the last 8-10 years

now that i look at them a little closer I guess it might be a cutdown apache.

here's the back of the apache:

Might be worth sending it to Quickdraw for Todd to look at it, may not cost that much to freshen it up..

I bet that second hull would be areal screamer..A drag boat if you will.If you want to sell the second hull let me know as i may want to tinker with it.Thanks

PM box is empty. Don't know how to do that. It keeps asking for a URL. My pictures are JPG.
