Re: What ever happened to Chief Boats?
I'd *love* a 37' with side by side bolsters, Millenium cabin, and 525's matched with the Merc ITS. Graphics like the red 28' I've been drooling over on the AT site.
Stick it on a Myco and I'll be down with my life savings of $2.37 to pick it up once the snow melts!
Actually, I figured AT was building boats, but I had read somewhere (here maybe) that AT was no longer associated with Chief. This stuff is awfully hard to keep straight.....

Just stretch my old 37, give me a little more width 9-9'3", throw an xtra step in their or 3, make sure you have over 6'2" of headroom, use space age materials and keep the weight down to around 11-11500 pounds. What the hell ya waitin for, build it under the A.T. name AND THEY WILL COME. Have a good holiday chicken sh*t.

OK.....I heard through the " RUMOR MILL" and I stress RUMOR MILL.....that CHIEF was done and everything will be ACTIVE THUNDER........again........so before anyone goes nutso.......just info passed on third party. I would also assume that CHIEF reps would have responded directly to this thread with accurate information on the company by now.

Re: What ever happened to Chief Boats?
There is no merger between Active Thunder and Chief. It was and is a marketing marriage. Plain and simple: If you want a 28/33/37/42/47 (47 still under development) foot boat built with a quality hull and some Bobby Saccenti influence and craftsmanship; you get ahold of Bobby & Chief Powerboats.
Pat/AT still builds/sells/markets 28/33/37 foot boats just like always.
