UNTOLD STORY - Apache 41' Lethal Weapon & Lester Kurylo Jr.

In this exclusive, in-house production from Apache Powerboats, we reveal the untold story of Lester Kurylo Jr., owner and driver of the Apache 41' Lethal Weapon.

Born in New Jersey, Lester's passion for speed and competition led him to the U.S. Navy, where he proudly served and earned the National Defense Service Medal. After building a successful career, he channeled his love for adventure into offshore racing.

Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lester and his D-44 Race Team powered Lethal Weapon to victory in numerous D-Class races, dominating the competition across the East Coast and central United States.
