Was that company related to the usa?
Or did they bought moulds?
Love the 31,I like those older lines.
Do you think they sell them bare,only deck and hull?
Its a nice base for twin diesel yanmar set up with bravo,s.

I think they sell only bare hulls. It´s a small Swedish Company and the hull is a stretch of a 28 the mold might be the original 28.
Not Sure about it but you can always contact them.
No relation to USA.
I think you mix with Nor-Tech former High-Tech who splashed a 38 hawk and got sued for it.

Where did you find it on sale?
Comanche3six
What about the Stars and stripes 47 Apache at Turbine Marine?
What do you now about it?
the Staggered engine hatch sure gives a nice sunpad....and my folks would love that.

There was an Apache 41,year 1986 for sale in Ibiza,
their asking price was 27000€
I talked to him an half year ago ,and I could have the boat for 20000€,that time I didn,t had the money to buy,and now its sold to some guy in danmark
It had no engine/drives
staggered set up,#4 gimble,s and latham steering was still on the boat.
Now I wish I had the money that time.

Apache 41 for 20K model 1986...when ? and this dane has it running now?

Spain/medi is a good source to get boats that need new engines....
Had an offer about a 1992 46 Cig for 70K that needed one engine.

There´s other fish in the sea...you still around for a bigger boat?

sterling · 24-01-2006, 06:39 PM

Yes I,m looking for a bigger boat ,something that sleeps 2-3 people .
And still have to do 70-75 mph ,offshore type boat.
Bare is fine,or with drives only.
I want to go for diesels if I have to rig it completely over.
Like that 31 ft Arrow, It does not have to be a 40 + ft
Boats like that need so much hp to make them run.
Is there some body that might be intrested in a Cougar 27 cat
in your country?
I have a 1989 kevlar /glass,with trailer (new)
no motors/steering.
Condition is good,7950€ incl trailer

hhhmmmmm Cougar for me....you just wait I´m a Truck operator So Ill prolly be sometime around your place.

How old do you want the boat in question to be?
Picks of the Cougar?

sterling · 25-01-2006, 07:46 PM

The age is not so important to me,if it is a good hull structurally,and cosmetically needed some work , thats fine by me.
I,send an E mail to that guy in sweden that makes the 31 Arrow
just to see what a bare hull price is.
It might be a good boat for twin diesel/bravo,just like Jon,s boat.
I like the reliabilaty and economy that diesels do.

I believe the main color is awlgrip, the art is hand painted, then everything is cleared. That is my best guess.

I believe JayL13 on Speedwake and a few other guy's have been all over that boat. I would ask him his opinion.

Ben · 25-01-2006, 10:43 PM

Been trawling through some old boat brochures and lo and behold found this.

Well that you won´t find out in a hull without a moisture meter.
Scarabs are told to have a problem with moisture in the stringers..Larry Smith Scarabs not, different lay-up and different fiberglass mats too.
But everything can be ruined.
I´m a bit interested of the Squadron 39 at atlantioque but would need to get a look at it if it´s cabin is big enough in life...looks kinda small.

Do you actually think the Baltic Sea has the same erosion rates as the U.S. coast line? Maybe you should have listened to your "sophmore" teacher.

Happens almost every fall.
The Ferry Estonia got cought in such a wave ...40 miles form where I sit RIGHT Now. (Baltic Proper that is)
852 killed.

Wow! The Baltic sea has 40 ft waves, up to 70?

How about tidal waves? Tsunamis?

Yesterday we had close to 20m/s in -18C temps which you might think is uncommon.Or might not because of lack of knowledge.

Now that's funny. I suggest you go back and reread a couple posts and try and put two and two together before making stupid comments. I forgot more than you'll ever know.

Not the case. Current step bottoms have technology that wasn't available in the early 1900's. Trying to compare a step from 1910 to steps on the latest powerboats of today shows ignorance. You obviously don't understand how much R@D go into these hulls.
BTW: Flay bottom boats were used since the begining of time which last time I checked was before the early 1900's?

Uh, no. Fountain builds the race boats in shop and actually uses the same molds as the sport boats. I have been there and have seen it with my own eyes.

Happens to be a proven fact.
Just go on and search...the avarege for erosion in USA is .008mm/yr and for Baltic 0.01mm/yr.

3m tidal waves.
Atlantic has 12m on the French coast.
Tsunamis ain´t to be found in US either.

This starts to become a meaningless pissingcontest, because of one arrogant American (again!) who doesn´t look further than ones own navel.

What does Reggies claims of inventing the V bottom then show...he told that in the 80´s and 90´s....
Those with a patent for it was from the 50´s....

Sure they do, let me put it thisway, Reggie is the loudest (advertiser/Bullshitter, you chose) since Don Aronow and he (Reggie) himself ain´t worth Shit.
Thats how I regard that Tupé joke with a napoleon complex.
For what it´s worth Reggie would make a great stand in for Spock in Star Trek and he wouldn´t need even to change his outlook, None of it infact

Regardin Steps a Swedish Designer Sigurd Isaccson was way before Steve Stepp with an identical bottom.
Are to be found in Flipper boats since 80´s.
In the UIM classes in the late 80´s Steps were ventilated with exhaust gases in Europe but those got banned.
