Congrats to the new owner! I remember seeing the boat a couple years ago when it was at Spinnaker/TnT. Awesome boat in person. What speeds does it run?

boatme
04-23-2009, 07:32 PM
runs just under 100 needs some prop work and drive spacer and it should go over 100

Somebody is getting an AWESOME ride for sure. That has always been among my favorites, especially after seeing it up close. In fact, I've got a pic of it from the 07 Chicago Poker Run as my desktop at work right now!

Congrats to the new owner. If I had the bank that boat was #1 on my list. Maybe when the current buyer is done with it I will be in the position to buy it.:sifone:

Guy towing it is from Chicago, he is going back home for a couple of days then headed to Florida

I am not sure but i think it will spend much time over by TNT (is that Spiniker marina?)

I just want to say a BIG thanks to Mark for all his help and hospitality .. When we first arrived in Grand Haven the Chief was turn-key and ready to go. Although I haven’t seen the Chief for a couple of years other than pictures.. Mark and Mike kept the Chief looking like factory new. When we splashed the Chief in the old Lilly-Pond, (only kidding guys) I laid down the throttles, and that’s when all the fun begun..

The Chief rode as Great and fantastic as ever. What a ride….

One thing I did noticed, The Chief was a little paleface and in need of some sunshine.. So eventually the Chief will be heading to Miami for lots of fun in the sun..

Thanks again Mark for all your help..

The engines were in shipping crates, waiting for Pompi to design the mounts for them the last time I saw the boat.
