Mark has personally played a significant role in writing powerboat history. He is a respected visionary 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 masterful design innovations.
McManus, along with DuPont and the United States Military, assembled and directed the first team to design and weave a pattern of Kevlar and carbon fiber laminate, a design that has not been duplicated today. This system has been successfully integrated in all of his hull designs to enhance the safety and durability of high-performance boats.
Padded dashes with anodized, polished, laser engraved aluminum, centerline steering, staggered engines and theme boats with innovative graphics are all features that McManus developed and introduced into the boat industry. Today, these upgraded features can be found throughout the high-performance boating industry in both recreational and commercial applications.
Mark is also the first manufacturer to offer complete refitting and restoration services for existing powerboat models.

I’ve ALWAYS admired this Apache, it’s truly A WORK OF ART
-
I'm in love with this boat. Some people get star struck with their favorite band, singer, etc I'm star struck with this! Good job! Thanks for sharing.

It’s so nice to hear people who appreciate their property. He doesn’t seem ungrateful because he has money. He sounds happy as a kid like I do when I talk about my Bayliner 3460.

You really did an incredible job in the design of this boat; your methodical approach really paid off! This is an absolutely gorgeous boat. The detail is exquisite. Apache is one of, what I call, the Fab5's; Apache, Bertram, Cigarette, Donzi & Magnum. All legendary back in the day, still having an impeccable reputation. Apache stayed the course; still making incredible machines today. I don't know of a boat that can walk by this in 10' + seas. Lean mean ass kicking ocean machine. Enjoy 😎 !

I own a 50’ CIGARETTE AMG & I have to admit this BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART is SPECTACULAR!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

How great is America? Work hard and you too can enjoy things like this. We live in the greatest country in the world! Anyone with a great work ethic can achieve dreams like this! I’m sure nobody handed this man the keys to this boat. He worked hard maybe took some chances in life and achieved the American dream. Just proves a lesson kids. Work hard and good things happen. Enjoy your boat sir, it is impressive!
