APACHE HISTORY
The philosophy of performance and craftsmanship is directly applied to the latest offering of Apache Powerboats®.
By no definition are McManus built Apache Boats mass produced.
Instead, a limited duplicative production of hull designs are fabricated to maximum construction techniques and overall quality.
Customers then have the opportunity to outfit their hulls with a nearly endless list of options, finishing with the powertrain, navigation systems and interior appointments to suit their every want and need.

Every Apache is as unique as its owner, reflecting their individuality and spirit.
Whether a boat is headed for contention on the Poker Run Circuit or your favorite cruising or fishing waters as a weekend warrior, each McManus built Apache is constructed to be a winning example of technology and craftsmanship. As with each boat produced by McManus, safety and stability are primary concerns. All boats are built to exceed the highest standards of U.S. and European Coast Guard requirements.
Each McManus Apache is capable of withstanding the most punishing offshore conditions.

McManus was the first to successfully use Kevlar® and carbon fiber in his hull designs to enhance the safety and durability of high-performance boats. Anodized, polished, laser engraved aluminum, padded dashes, centerline steering, staggered engines and theme boats with innovative graphics are all features that McManus developed and introduced into the boating industry.
Today, these upgraded features can be found throughout the high-performance boating industry.The engineering specifications of the McManus and Apache® designs are the results of McManus’ vast knowledge and experience of forty years.
Using ballistics-grade Kevlar49 and pure 100% carbon fiber to his design specifications, along with hand-laid laminates, and military grade resins, every McManus built boat is precisely constructed to execute solid performance in the most adverse sea conditions.

We understand the demands of high-performance boats in rough offshore conditions. That’s why we’ve developed this unique hull design that lasts over 30 years, an unheard-of lifespan in the industry.
Our secret lies in the precise alignment, balance, and weight distribution of internal components, which work together to eliminate vibrations and ensure a stable and secure ride.
With an unmatched safety record and exceptional quality, it’s no wonder that our 40′ high-performance deep-vee boats command a higher resale value than ANY other competitor.

Slide to view the transformation of Apache Heritage into Apache Star.
This Apache won the Superboat World Championship in 1992 and 1993. In 2012, McManus began restoring Apache Heritage into Apache Star. Apache Star set a record for the fastest crossing from Key West to Havana in 2015 with McManus himself working the throttle!

McManus has restored half of the Apache® boats he originally built in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. These were refurbished, not reconstructed, meaning the hulls were still in perfect condition; the new owners were interested in updating the look of the boats.
Every boat is created to the client’s specifications, and each is a showpiece of exquisite quality, power, and offshore performance. Hand-painted artwork, graphics, instrumentation, and cockpit designs are as unique as the owners.
McManus’ powerboats continue to rewrite powerboat history with their fit, finish, and ability to dominate and deliver in offshore waters at excessive speeds. One aspect about our new and refurbished boats: when you see the project; you will remember the boat and its unique features for a long time!
