Apache Express/Fort Apache Marina????

Gentleman -

I just found an old Car & Driver article (February 1992) titled "More Cubic Inches Than a Grave". It's about a 135 MPH 49 foot "cat" with triple 1000 HP I/O's. It was owned by Juan Almeida/Philip Feldman and Fort Apache Marina.

Just curious if this boat is still around? Are Juan Almeida and Philip Feldman still into boats?

I just learned from www.offshoreonly.com that Fort Apache Marina is gone. It was located at the infamous "thunderboat alley". I guess they used to store boats there. Now, it's all condominiums.

I was fortunate to race out of Fort Apache in the early 90's.Most of the big name's still had shops on "Thunderboat Row" It was awesome to say the least.It's a crime that it's gone.

SOME OF THESE HISTORIC OFFSHORE RACING TREASURES CAN BE FOUND IN PLACES YOU WOULD LEAST EXPECT, JUST HOPE SOME PUNK WITHOUT A CLUE DOESN'T BUTCHER IT UP INSTEAD OF RESTORING IT UP TO IT'S FULL GLORY. PEACE! FIG
