I took a look at their Facebook page just now and it looks like the deck is being fitted into place!

What is the difference between the Chief and the Pantera and the Saber 41's?
I've lost track of who has what and how it is different.

Saber 41' is basically an Apache. I see that Saber is building a new boat (there's a thread on here) but I haven't seen a new 41' in a while.

The Pantera was from the failed attempt at a "New Apache". The "New Apache" mold was bought by Pantera and they put their own step design on the bottom but it appears they ran into some money/legal problems??

The Chief is Bob Saccenti's creation from a while back that's been updated. They have a new raceboat running the overseas circuit called Warpath. It won the Gurnsey Cup overseas and runs 100+mph with 700 Ilmors and Arnesons. They have few other things in the works as well... But OSO for some reason wont give them a manufacturers section?

I think it's kinda cool to see the evolution of the boat from Bob Saccenti's first 41' Apache to all the other models including his 36' to the Chief with a 36' style deck and updated bottom design. Apparently he's still got it!
