His story was my story, and my story is history... at its best!
And yes, they should have had a wider beam!

WTF does it matter what happened in the past between Thad, Mcmanus and Ronald McDonald. If you want to fight over the history Apache, there are already 236 different threads about it already in existence. The fact is the 41 worked and worked well. How many companies make or made it original or with tweaks? the Washington co., pantera, banana, sabre, apache, new tech, chief, Im sure Im missing a couple.... (ok so the 24x7 hull still has it beat but its getting close)

This thread is about Chief, a boat built by Bob s. a man many consider an Icon in the sport. Its about a current build, not history, not leather jackets, etc.... Those threads have all been beat to death.

Hey bub, it seems like you have a personal issue with Bob Saccenti so I suggest you take it up with him directly. I can provide you with his phone number if you like. Better yet, stop by and pay him a visit, I'm sure he'd be happy to see you.

Take the garbage to the Apache section where it belongs. Enough said, this is a Chief thread.

Amen! Well said phragle.

Love seeing how these boats are built so Thankyou for taking the time to document and share it with us Panther.

Was just reading another thread on venting the steps and someone mentioned that the chief has it. If you can post some pictures of this, would like to see how it's done on this hull. Thanks agin

Thanks for the updates Frank!! Congrats to Bobby and Crew.

Go Tribe........

I'm afraid I don't have any close-up pics but if you look closely at the attached pic I'm pretty sure you can see the vents behind each step.

I like that shot!

My personal favorite of the whole fleet in KW

Im still waiting for your Apache/Chief to show up Joe!
