There was a thread on OSO way back. I do not want to re-hash it here. There is no reason too. I've seen the boat when delivered, when it ran in Smoke, and at Michigan City. An amazing piece.
Maybe some of the guys who rode in it at Michigan City could talk about some of their experiences. Unfortunately, one of those was not me. Other than that, someday we'll see what the new owner has to say.

I rode in the boat in Michigan City thanks to Sunkin and my boyz from Mahopac Marine. The boat is truely amazing, PERIOD. 90 mph no problem with 6 in the boat and 4-5' water. Running into, with and in quatering seas the boat handled truely amazing. The thing turned like it was on rails, landed like a pillow. What else do you want to know?????? Riding with a legend behind the wheel and sticks was truely priceless, a day I will never forget!

09-15-2009 11:23 AMI was walking down the dock and ran across a couple of board members. We chatted for a minute and then I asked "Hey, would you like to meet Bobby Saccenti?"
They both got quiet and looked at their shoes.
They started to say "uh...well..."
Stecz was there- he told them "Are you out of your mind? Go shake the hand of a legend". As always, Bobby treated them like they'd bought a dozen boats from him.

I'm bummed, I can only guess we missed seeing it/them at Kelleys by about 20-30 mins last Sunday? It was a little after 10am I think... Oh well, seeing the Chief blow our doors off was still pretty cool. If I thought we could have caught up I would have turned around but no sooner did we realize what had just happened and turned to look back, it was gone! That boat is no joke!

09-15-2009 03:57 PMGlad to hear Bob is still in the business, refurbishing older Apache's, etc. It keeps a guy young at heart. Where exactly, is his shop, or what shop does he work out of?
