I remember watching these Apaches in the early through late 1980s in Lake Michigan...Grand Haven, Saugatuck, South Haven. Apache has always been the best looking boat on the water, in my opinion. Nothing touches it for straight-up coolness. It's like the Steve McQueen of boats.

@@tylerdiedrich1947 Well, in reference to "God"---only God Almighty can change the heart of a murderer or ANY MAN. So, hopefully BK has had some time to rethink his life while he's been sitting in prison for all these years for the murder of one of the founding fathers of Offshore type hulls (Don Aronow). I don't wish ill will on any man, but BK is a convicted murder and is sitting in prison for just reasons. So okay, BK won a few races in an Apache when it was born, but it does not make the man a hero or model citizen in the way that you think he is or want to believe he is. If you want to worship BK, then that is your own choice, but posting the words----"God speed Ben Kramer shame he is still in all these years later"---- you should probably expect some push -back and I think your comment is outrageous just to put it out there like it should or will be widely accepted. Like I said before, only God Almighty can truly change the heart of a man IF the man will accept and allow God into his life. That goes for ANY person and I truly have that hope for BK, but for now he must pay the price for his crimes to society and be punished justly for his actions. I hope BK makes the "turn" towards God for his own life and repent just as ANY MAN needs to do prison or not---we ALL fall short. In the mean time, yeah--- those Apaches are some badass boats !!!

Yes, they have a high pitched ripping tone and sound to them for sure---could be because of the "Y"-pipes (tailpipes) and maybe the Hilborne velocity stack fuel injection system on the engines. I'm curious to know what kind of compression his engines have as it could also have an effect on the overall sound/tone of the engines. They sound great!
