Warpath is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and historic boats in Offshore Racing history.

Warpath, Apache Powerboats Hull #001, made its legendary debut at the 1984 American Power Boat Association World Championships. With its championship-winning performance, rich racing history, and meticulous restoration, Warpath stands as an irreplaceable collector's treasure.

In 1984, Team Apache Racing—comprising Bob Saccenti, Keith Eickert, and Tom Evans—entered the World Championships with their 41-foot deep-vee hull. While catamarans, which favor calm waters, grew wary of the five-to-ten-foot seas and fierce winds, Team Apache Racing saw an advantage for their single-hull powerhouse. Warpath dominated the competition, securing the 1984 World Championship and solidifying its place in powerboat history.

Equipped with twin 1000 HP 572ci V8 engines custom-built by Keith Eickert, Warpath boasts a top speed of over 100 mph, even in rough conditions. Its original glory has been carefully preserved. From 2007 to 2009, the boat underwent a full restoration, including its iconic blue and tan livery, expertly repainted by Gail Paik. Tom Evans, the crew chief and navigator for the 1984 races, oversaw the mechanical restoration. Bob Saccenti, founder of Team Apache Racing, has officially certified Warpath’s authenticity as the first 41 Apache ever built—Hull #001.

This world-champion vessel is a true rarity, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors seeking the pinnacle of Offshore Racing history.
