03-16-2013 04:22 AMHard to say for me. It is one heck of a boat. One of the guys who lives down on LOTO drove it and said it was one of the best handling boats he's ever driven, period. I remember when it was up here and it ate up the big water with the 41 Saber's.

My buddy has been looking and researching Apache for two years or so and the 41 Apache territory covers a lot of ground from 1986? to mid 1990's. Prices from around 90k to 150k. Obviously the Chief is a lot newer and more "modern"; so 195k is in the ballpark??

03-17-2013 10:04 AMMy honest opinion is yes. I do not believe you could duplicate that boat for double that in new, period.
It has dry sump #6's and 950HP Chief engines, plus MitcherT paint. And that's just the beginning.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

You are probably right Paul - it's double the price of an old 41 but 1/2 the price of a new Bleckcraft. Here's a bit of offshore/go fast boat heresy from the mind of Jeff --- I really like an understated. crisp, nautical, no-nonsense paint scheme on a boat (any boat) -- I'm not so much for flaming pink feathers, goth/tribal skeltons, ghouls and ghosts nor silly cartoon characters. I'm of the opinion that good, clean lines and intelligent rigging and design carry the day. There, I've likely stepped on the toes of 80% of the offshore world.

I like the Chiefs paint job, but normally I also prefer the all one color and a boot stripe accent...

Hey Artie, glad you noticed; any of your input on layup protocol and materials is appreciated. Just don't want to go into the whole Checkmate thing.
