The philosophy of performance and
craftsmanship is directly applied to the latest offering
of Apache PowerBoats. By no definition are McManus
Apaches mass produced. Instead, a limited duplicative
production of hull designs will be 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. 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 Apache is built 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.
Mark McManus, Apache Powerboats and USA Racing Team
also provides custom manufactured, maintenance, repair
and restoration of boats.

Mark McManus, President of McManus SuperBoats, has
personally played a significant role in writing powerboat
history. He is a respected master in the design and
manufacturing of high-performance offshore boats ranging
from 20 to 65 feet in length. Throughout his career
he has manufactured in excess of 600 offshore boats.
He has been widely recognized by boating industry
leaders for his numerous design innovations. He 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
thirty-three 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. Precise alignment, balance and weight
distribution of internal components create a vibration
free performance, offering a stable and secure ride
while attaining the fastest average speeds.
McManus hulls are known to last 20-plus years —
unheard of in a high-performance boat designed for
rough offshore seas. The hull lifespan, safety record,
and unmatched quality command a higher resale value
than any other 40’ high-performance deep-vee
in the market today. 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!
