Kind of feel obligated to give'em a bit of grief, since there is some relationship to "The Boat Company That Must Not Be Named" :D

In the A.T. section,, Massive Thunder clearly states that all A.T's will now be called Chiefs, but that does not answer the question if A.T. is still building the 28, 32, 37 ???? IS the Active Thunder name no more ???

Mike the ATs will now bear the name of Chief Powerboats and be built under that banner

The hulls them selfs will not change any time soon, only the branding

We are functioning under one name combining a number of talents to create a stronger boat company that offers a full line of boats from 28' to 47'

SWEEEEET.......... Now I own a collectors item! Does that make it worth more or less?
All kidding aside...hats off to Marc, Pat and the gang for putting together a winning combination! Can't wait to see it at SOTW 2005!

I have been told from a good source that the A.T. brand name is not going away. Don't get your panties in a wad over this and lets see how it plays out.

Mark, that's what I figured but you know how the rumor mill works - best to clear the air up front.

Will you be building the 42 and 47 down in Florida or in Indiana? Is Stinson still involved, I see he's not listed on the "staff" page (though it looks like you guys are pressed for space in that area)?

I would think it would make the boat worth less. I'm sure Pat will still have factory support in the "Chief Shop", but the People who are not " In the Know " will think that AT is no longer existant. Who wants to buy a relativley new (used) boat when the company no longer exists.

Just my opinion, and i've been known to be totally wrong......except for knowing Allan4 is a Putz. :p

Where will they be built? Will the 28 be under 70,000.00?

last year, when I talked to Pat about a 28 with a 500efi, he quoted me 110,000 on a trailer with over a 1 year wait, I too am curious what the pricing will be though..

I'll be glad to sell you a 28 for a tick over half that and you can have it tomorrow. :D I would like to move up to a bigger A.T. or Chief or A.T. :crazy:

Boatme,

You know, I'm a little bummed you call the 37' model the 37 Warhawk. You think you could bump up the Warhawk name to the 42' model ????? The WarHawk is a 41' Apache. Changing the models around would REALLY help me avoid some confusion at all the local watering holes.

As it is now I'll have to explain to people that my boat is an Apache, not a Chief, AND(as if I need the distraction while trying to have a few Rum and Cokes) explain that my boat really is 41' long. If you made the 42' the WarHawk model I would only have to explain the different manufacturers involved, not go into a long dissertation about hull length thereby leaving me more time for Rum and Cokes and chicken wings.

Never-mind the confusion for the people that bought our 2 previous Cigarette 38's(86,88 model years) that were called WarHawk. Those poor people are going to have alot of explaining to do. Not a Chief, not an Apache and not 37' long. The confusion at the local Shooters could hit historic levels.

For the sake of the Bacardi Corporation, please, consider my proposal.

Congrtulations! Great looking boat. I'm anxious to hear more about the AT/Chief connection as AT is an AWESOME boat in and of itself! I'm sure that with AT's involvement and the seeming attention to detail the Chief exhibits in these photos, the finished products will be real rough water BEASTS! Nice job guys. :drink:

OK we have considered it and the answer is

NO can do

but i love the way you look at things

if we build a bigger boat and a bit wider maybe we will consider calling it Widehawk

Dockrocker I can answer that question for you. No Sean is not involved with Chief. He is pursuing other endeavors at this time. However, we wish all the guys at Chief the best of luck. It looks like they have a beautiful product. :cool: :cool:

As the owner of the First Mohican, I have to say that working with Marc, Bobby and Scott has been a real pleasure. These guys are straight shooters with tremendous follow through.

I think Mitcher T did a fantastic job on the paint. I know it has surpassed my expectations. I would recommend Mitch to anyone. His work speaks for itself. The pictures don't come close to doing it justice.

More news to come....

Thanks for being a great customer and Friend to the Chief family
