how does the 42 chief compare in the classifieds?

if someone doesn't mind run through the apache/ chief / Cherokee saga please.

The Apache Deep-V, a tremendous rough water performer.....

I think the 41 Apache is by far the most iconic offshore V bottom boat ever . If I had the dough I would own one . It has nothing to do with technology I personally think that old school look can't be beat. The one boat that comes close is a Cigarette Flat deck [ATTACH=CONFIG]527223[/ATTACH] . But then again who said I had to be objective . The one pictured is mine.

You just had to go there, didn't you......

When was the last apache 41 built?

uninformed other than what little I know. have never seen a chief but I ran across a 28 Cherokee with a bandit 1000 hooked to a bravo in port st lucie florida. rigging looked better than 95% of boats... I don't know the history on bobby S, or eric. did all this happen after Ben Kramer went away?

is a chief an apache without Ben Kramer's blessing due to branding? really not clear lol.

btw- sorry rob lol

Did you get some engine work done recently? In post #21 you were only 700hp I passed my alertness exam today, just bustin your balls 38 Donzi great setup no doubt.

Sorry for

Some of the Apache's with the newer hardware are badazz resto-mods, love them.

Not hating on anyone or anything, but seriously, no one runs their new 41+ new tech rides in rough water? It is more likely that they aren't on the forums etc. We all know people with bad toys that don't even lurk, they just buy badazz stuff and enjoy it. I would also add that if the water really is Apache rough, as I like to call it, is there really anything to prove by pounding on the gear besides proving everything mechanical can be broken? People can be broken too or even worse. No sense in running in stupid rough water to prove one is really stupid. Should you need help you put others at risk to rescue, tow etc just not necessary. Sorry to sound like a nanny, but unless there is a trophy, sanctioning body etc what is being proved to anyone? Who cares. None of believe each others rough water stories anyway. I say 50 in 6's and all of us say BS, not even on plane in 3's you wimp in our heads

It is funny though how many use the Apache as the standard for rough water performance! A true legend like Fountain and speed

cool read...thx
