That looks pretty cool, like the new age tribal look and the arrow head.

Edgewater, FL; outside of Daytona.

AT moved major layup operations there due to EPA hurdles with the chemicals "in town" there in Pompano. Way out west of I-95 would have been different.

And the layups are not that drastically different. Remember that Bobby and Pat are friends, and have collaborated in the past. One of those collaborations just popped up in the OSO classifieds.

The layups are very different on the two boats, that I can assure of. The Layup for the Chief new and different from what AT is/was using. I'm not debating if one is better than the other, all I'm saying is they are not the same layup.

When Chief first started there was a partnership between Chief and AT on AT's 37'. Unfortunately when things didn't come to fruition the 37' was rebadged an AT and then it was sold. My memory is a little foggy but that's what I remember of the partnership.
