it took me 38 years to figure out what all you apache guys where speaking of when it came to the "there's none other like it" statement! now i get it, lol. when running in sizable waves last weekend the IR didn't skip a beat, nor did the boat hardly leave the water. what an amazing ride for sure. they may not have the creature comforts that some of the newer boats have but it will be mighty hard to beat the ride of a 41 race apache. i have driven and owned a lot of boats but this one takes the cake with the cool factor, not to mention it sounds like a blown alcohol drag car lol. i will see if i can get tim to post a few short videos of the boat at the dock

best riding boat I ever been on was "The Chief" been hooked since... not race but still better then anything else I personally have been on, the second is Clifford with full bulkheads up front... rides lighter but man that boat would rock big water...

Tony,
I also would like to say thanks, I am the new proud owner of The Chief. I was only able to take it out twice with our great WNY weather and with the purchase being in early September. I
took it to Mitcher T Paint a month ago for a complete redo. I picked it up yesterday and all I can say is hats off to him and his team. I will try to post pics soon. It's funny since I started power boating I was always on a quest for top speed, I know the Apache won't be as fast as my cat was, however I do remember who was first at the beach on the 2013 Buffalo Poker Run! Oh ya you lol! Well thanks again for the welcome, I look forward to running with you guys!
