Apache Jet boat ? ? ? Anyone heard of one

[DUECE'SDAD]

Im looking at buying a jet minus bbc that has no badges or id plate and has a berkley jet and is supposed to be an Apache. The hull is what i think has been explained to me as a "gull wing" The sides go straight down to a sharp point like a tunnel then once the go back up toward the top it slopes back down into a V , if you turned it upside down it would look like /W\ All I wanna do is clean it up and sell it, but is this a reputable name, or just another shop built.

I would post this is "just jets". Those guys in there know their shit, and I bet one of them could help you out.

Never heard of an Apache hull, but what if you are looking to resell it I have a buddy whom is looking for a TX-19 gullwing, if this boat looks like a gullwing can you send me some pictures of it, and what you are looking to resell it for? thanks Kelly

I think that it should be somewhere in the neiborhood of $1500 if i can pick it up and get all the hardware. Is that reasonable? It is in damn good shape, and i have a spare bbc, and ive seen these boats selling in the bargain post for 4500-7500 running (jets in general) I will have some pics up and hope to have the boat by the first of the week

Could it be a Warhawk?Does the tail flip up in the back?could it be a Preditor does the nose have a big hump down the center.Or is it just like the deck on a CP 19 or Youngblood 19 gullwing?
Youngblood (original design)
PJB Performance Jetboat(Texas Performer) (same as OD)
Califorina Performance (CP) (same as OD) (deck wise for the CP freakes)
Mantra (fliped up tiil)
Sunkisst (fliped up tail)
Kuston Kraft (same as OD)
Condor (same as OD)
JBX Preditor (hump down the deck)
Warhawk (fliped up tail)
There is a few more that made them and a few more that still make them :jawdrop: .
Like Snow said pics would help you the most :idea: .

Hey Deuce'sDad, I have a "Apache" in our shop right now. At least the guy who owns it claims it's a "Apache".......I'll take pictures today and post tonight....It is a semi-vee with a Berkeley. It looks similar to a Sanger Bubble Deck Jet. This boat we are working on does not resemble a TX-19, Gullwing or CP. I'll check the VIN # for you too. Doug :idea:

. . . . But ever since i got this new camera and computer, I cant figure out how to upload, it always denies me on the image center, maybe they are to big, who can i email them to in the morning that can upload them.

[OldFaithful Squirter]

In the late 70's thru the 80's there was Apache jet boats being built (or rigged..not sure) by brothers Peter or Paul Kronberger . If my memory serves me they also built/rigged Eagle jet boats also. This was in Auburn/Newcastle area of N. Ca.

[OldFaithful Squirter]

Any luck on getting pictures of this Apache yet??

[DUECE'SDAD]

I have the pics and am thinking about buying this boat to clean up and resale this week if everything goes right, lets get them up and see if any one know anything about this kinda boat,

[HoffmanEagleMarine]

Duece'sDad, I found the pic's of the Apache Jet Boat but cannot download them? I had no problem before? I'll mail these to you and see if you can post. Anyway, the owner of the boat said the builder was located in the Loomis/Auburn area in the mid 80's. I have never heard of the manufacturer.....The boat is a semi-vee bottom and lighter than most. It was built in 1986 and the coast guard tag shows "Vicraft, Sacramento California." Let me know if you get the pictures via e-mail, Doug

[DUECE'SDAD]
