    What ever happened to that Chief boat?
    #1
    I kind of fell out of the boating scene for a while. From what I remember, there was quite the fiasco with the "new" Apache nee Chief company and the one and only boat they built. I tried reading up on the outcome over at OSO, but frankly it gives me headache trying to sort through all the horse**** on the Apache forum.

    I know Marc Blondin was selling/sold the one boat they built. I also heard it was an old hull with a new deck? Basically, I'm just curious as to what the real story was without the drama. It was/is a nice looking boat and I heard it's still in the Great Lakes area somewhere. Wondering if I'd ever get a chance to see it "live" rather than in pics.
