Nice project. I like all glass bottoms w/ cored sides / deck.

I'm not sure Bobby would build a cored boat, especially the bottom.

Good luck guys, boat is looking great!

Old tech left, new tech right.

Looks like the boys at Chief are busy creating a winner for next June's Venture Cup race.

What an iconic boat. The lines are just unmistakable. I hope they paint/sticker it up to look like the original. It looks like the correct color combo to make a modern classic.

A "modern classic" are the perfect words for this boat. I hope there is plenty of race footage of it during the 2,400 mile challenge.

It has been on my mind for years if I ever had a new boat built that I would like the paint scheme of the Warpath Apache above. That is one of my FAVORITE boats of alltime. I am glad to see someone else thinks like me and has had this new 2012 version built. Outstanding.

I wish them the best of luck in the race, I will be keeping track of this new Chief powerboat.
