I'll let Bobby tell the news, but consider that the other Chief with "Chief 950's" ran 98 and this boat is faster with smaller power.

The Chiro One 41 apache will be testing soon too, I look forward to share our outcome. I too was pleased with the numbers with the small power along with 200 gallons in her

It is always hard to compare boats as there are always so many little factors to consider.

Warpath is NOT a notched transom boat so there is a bit more running surface.

Mohican on the other hand is layed up so heavy that the transom had to be routed before the #6 drives were installed. I do not know the weight on Mohican but I am sure it is far heavier than Warpath. :-P Waves move out of the way for that one.
