Merc 225 efi/20" mid with a Tempest 23/24 should put you in the 60's all day long with no tempermental hiccups!!

Thanks JP These boats have a 25" transom so i got to look for a 25" going to look for 225-250 motor OC.

My buddy had one it went 65 with a 200 merc and a 26 chopper. He blew up the motor and put a 225 3liter and with the same prop went 72 hitting the rev limiter. we never got to try diffrerent props and heights but it probably would have gone faster. 3liter is the way to go.

Are you sure you need a 25" mid? What height is your propshaft now?

**OrangeCrush** · 10-14-2005, 03:09 PM

Dont have a motor on it now .Jim at ocean knew the boat and told me apache made the transum that way. user friendly . prev.owner said his motor was 25' also.there is a link on speedwake that has the specs ,that show all the data. thanks Paul

Interesting, I thought the only 22' that needed the 25" mid was the progression

You should PM Mr. Clean as he had one of those

**apache21** · 10-23-2005, 08:28 PM

I had a 95 Apache Scout. 95 200 blackmax mercury, 5 1/2 CMC Jackplate, 26 Hoss Chopper. I saw 66 MPH GPS

OrangeCrush,what year? any pics?

**OrangeCrush** · 10-27-2005, 03:52 PM

It's a 1988 all white with the built in swim platform and setback transom. my son's camera messed up and he erased all the pictures he took when we picked it up. there are a couple pictures on speedwake that look like it. do you still have yours? what are you running for a motor? will this boat run seventies with a 2.5? Thanks Paul

**mr.clean** · 10-27-2005, 04:14 PM

had the same one but sold it. I ran a 200 merc 20' mid 15 inch setback and a 22 chopper 65 MPH. I agree that a 3 liter would do that hull some justice

I don't have his info handy but bob saccenti (apache) built that boat and is very friendly/helpful if you call about one of his old boats.best bet is offshoreonly.com you'll find the apache community to be one of the best,once you sort through it's colorful past.

**blkmtrfan** · 10-27-2005, 04:21 PM

Clean did your's need a 25" mid?

edit: didn't see your post before I pushed "post"

I didn't think you had a 25"

**OrangeCrush** · 10-27-2005, 05:00 PM

MR> Clean yours was the boat i was talking about . using that picture for a screen safer. how where you able to run a 20" ? i was told you had to run a 25" .I measured my2oo on my other boat. the middle of the prop shaft wont even reach thepad.a friend of mine thinks i should run a2.5. less weight more rpm than a 3.0 .

**OceanmarineB** · 10-27-2005, 05:31 PM

That boats pretty heavy probably bettr off with a 3.0 liter
