Miller,

I just realized you and I have not connected much since 911.

Call me when you have time, Pat

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Ha-Ha-Ha now that's funny! From what I remember and from what I continue to hear, you'e a tougher man to reach via telephone than Porter Goss (Director of the CIA)! :D But, I'll try this week when I get a minute.

Hope you're doing well.

Oh Pat, ya know I'm just kidding, I still luv ya. Hey, by the way, I am off tomorrow and just may drive down to see the new 42 while on my way to the Miami show. I also have an appointment with some out of state guys that want to possibly buy the old "Little Ceasers" 47' Apache race boat hull. Maybe I could kill 3 birds with one stone.

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Pat,

I tried the number on your web (I can't find your cell # anywhere) but didn't get anyone. So, what is your number? Email it to me at [email protected] or call me at the office. The number is 212-218-5094.

Look forward to speaking sometime.

Hey Pat,
Is the emblem you attached below your members name the emblem that will be used on the new boats?
If so that's not bad looking.

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Stopped by the AT/Cheif factory last friday. Busy is a good word for it!! Will post pictures later. Ran into Pat (of course) Marc Blondin (boatme), Scott Grady (SGrady) and Bob Saccenti. All the boats in the shop were in various stages of completion and guys were hustlin' around. Could have spent the day there but had to get some people to the airport.

Keep up the awesome work Pat and Company!! And thanks for the help with the rental car! :D

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Nortech is no where near what OL is to pricing, as to quality, they are right up there. I too have a problem when a dealer needs to make a 100k selling a boat, and is still a 200-225k more than Nortech, something is wrong with that picture. I look at it this way, cost is important, and I cannot afford a OL, but can a Nortech. I have no idea where Chief's prices will end up, but know where A.T.s prices were, and to be competitive on in this industry, cause majority of customers can be a pain in the ass, Pats prices needed to go up to service the customer the way they wanted to be taken care of, these are boats, and they do break, so prices needed to go up. Thats my take on it.

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Jeff,

Chief will still be competive. And you are 100% correct on the service. What do you figure a car manufacturer has built in to their pricing to warranty thousands of vehicle? Alot.

The 28 with a 525 EFI package went up from $103k to $115k retail. The 37 from $278k to $290k with the same package.
Look for the 33 to be around $220 with 496 H/Os and still running low 80s.

We are looking at bringing the 42 Chief in at under $400k with the Teague "Ilmor" package which Bobby is estimating to run in the mid 80s. You can cut that cost and get in the mid $300s with the 525s.

Of course it is like anything else, add lotsa options and things get expensive fast. However if you still are reasonable with the build it is not out of hand.

We all know there is a lot of speculation going on and we have been vague about details, however, as any of our vistors this last week will testify, we have hit the ground running. The boats are on the floor.

Give Marc or myself a call with questions.

Thanks, Pat.

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Does this mean I won't get any service because I didn't pay that much last year for my 37'.lol. Call me Pat when you get a chance about my upgrades on the cabin.Trying to make it down on march 25 until the Sarasota Run and want the boat to be at its best.Thanks.Richard 540-226-2814

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Hey Pat, Did my brother Ike stop in today? Did you get him to put a deposit on a Cheif? :D

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Still extremely competitive pricing. I commend you guys to getting some boats out there, incl the 47. Good luck. Jeff

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Well does this mean, when I go to sell mine I should put the Chief logos on it and I can get more money for it?

I would still like too know if my lifetime hull warranty is still good?

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

I'm sure if you put a OL emblem on you could sell her and then retire :rolleyes: :D Lifetime means exactly whats on the website, and remember Pat's still a owner. Enjoy your boat, quit worrying. Jeff

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Of course, this is extending the current AT family and blending the talents, not eliminating anything. Every owner from the past is just as important as a future client. I am sure all will be pleased. Glass is on the floor and we will have some more things in the future that will be for all to enjoy !

Thanks for the support !

Re: AT & Chief ????

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

That is true, plus I really put on the winter extra layers.... :eek:

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Just visited Pat and the Chief/Thunder factory this morning. The 37 AVH being rigged with 525's is HOT! Every boat is getting better and better!!! The new 42' Chief Hull that is being rigged is unbelievable. Great paint job and just a monster of a boat. Can't wait to see that puppy finshed and in the water!!! It's nice to see how Pat's boats have evolved through the years and I am happy that I was part of the A/T crew for a while!!! Keep up the great work Pat.

Re: AT & Chief ????
 

Dan, I thought you went and got religious or something! Glad to see you're around... :evilb:

Who knows, this could be the year I finally meet up with you...of course now you don't have the boat so I can't take a ride! :mad: :drink:

Re: AT & Chief ????

Re: AT & Chief ????
