No tales here, just the truth! 
We did place a deposit on The Chief yesterday.
Survey should take place sometime this week and hopefully she'll be heading to Mentor at some point next week.
Finally got to ride on her Saturday afternoon. Boat ran (and sounded) awesome! Too bad it wasn't 3 to 4's instead of a few rollers and boat wakes (I didn't think Lake Michigan was capable of being flat---only when we were sea trialing the Apache
). And I can't believe I wanted 3 to 4's....that's not the Barb I know! 
Scott, thank you for everything! Your hospitality, lunch, the ride, your time. I have lots of pics but not sure how to download them because it's not my camera. Once I figure that out we'll post some pics.
Grand Haven is a hull from Fairport, but only one way! Took us 6 hours to get there on Friday with all the traffic and construction........we left Grand Rapids at 6PM and arrive in Mentor by 10PM.....not bad!
We're tired but are excited to get the boat home in anticipation that people will look, wave and stare at her the way they did when we were running down the water and the road! Wow is that Apache big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
