Those Victory cats look SUPERBAD!

I never knew anythingg about the Switzer Wing before T2x introduced me, via the internet... but man I'd love to see one run sometime.
 
IMO, the best-looking boat ever built...

Apache Princess

Unfortunately, the boat was stripped and became this...

Now thats a crying shame that is.
 
I can understand if the new paint doesn't do it for you guys like the original did, but the quality of work, talent, and results of the nearly $2 million restoration is hardly a "crying shame". :ack2:

No, but it's a pretty good example of "more isn't necessarily better"

agreed on both accounts.

to pick 3 boats is a hard task I am not going to attempt. I think the orginal or restore Apache princess would definately be on of the 3 for me
 
By all means one of the best all around performers that I had the pleasure of owning!!!!

In no particular order:

El Boss - 30' Shadow
Warpath - 41' Apache
Smokey and the Bandit - The best damn 30' Chris Cat ever built, but I might be biased.
 
No picture, but my first best experience with a vee hull was on a Bertram31.

The Luxury Magnum Marine Beast.


As a kid, these boats got me excited about being on the water.

16' Magnum Missile Marauder in background.

18' Hydrodyne... ski racing it was sweet.

Tough for three.....



Number 1, hands down......

You should see that thing now...Very sad. It's BEAT!! Sitting in the harbor up the street from me. There's something about it's motors are bad and would need to be removed but the boat was built around them and it would have to be torn apart to get to them. The owner is trying to either sell it or make it a water condo from what I heard. It's in ROUGH shape though.
