Wow, that boat is awesome. Deal

Damn this an awesome boat.

I don't understand why you would put that much money in it and then sell it cheaper than it was probably bought for but do love the boat.

Is the hull on this boat the same as the new 42s, or have there been changes/updates? What speed does it run with the 950s?

Prior to purchasing the Chief I was planning on building a commercial fishing boat and was done with go-fast boats for a little while. Boat builder was overbooked and I was looking at a couple years before I could get what I wanted. So I bought the Chief, went though it from front to back, and made it like new. About a month after getting the boat perfect and spending a ton of money, the commercial boat builder calls and tells me one of the buyers backed out on his slot and if I wanted to buy it. Timing couldn't have been worse for me. So I put the Chief up for sale at a heavy financial lose, hoping to be able buy that slot.

Hull is exactly the same as the new ones, boat runs 98mph w 950's.

Thanks J for all the info, it's a beauty. Does anyone else have any info on this vessel (i.e. origin of purchase, maintenance records, etc.) I am pretty familiar with it but have noticed it's not exactly something you can find a value for on NADA and most insurance co have no records or idea about what a Chief boat is.

Welcome to the world of custom boats, that's a lot of boat for the money. Banks usually don't understand the value of machinery like this. Reference the new chief 42s for pricing
