ok since this thread was started, i just have to ask. i've been wondering this for sometime now and talked to many apache guys about this. if the chief is running 97-98ish with 950's, how in heck can they get 92 out of the check with 700's ? it does not add up. just my 2 cents. that line was for you paul.

Sounds like today's more advanced materials allow a far stronger boat to be built with a huge weight savings.
Must be enough weight has been cut to allow the speed with lesser horsepower.
I think things were shifted around a little too, correct?
Wasn't the cockpit layout revised ?
Helm shifted forward from the original ?
Guessing that may have altered the center of gravity and balance of the boat...maybe a bonus too?

rschap1, seeing that know one has come foruth at this point in time discussing a layup schedule or weather or not the boat was bagged which would make a hugh difference in the layup ( weight) opposed to a traditional hand layup regardles of the fabric being used and once again like i mentioned in a previous post check in the past has somewhat been notorious for not having that nice of a layup and paul can you refresh are memory on what the dry weight of the boat actually is and was there ever a mention on what resin was used for the build ?

Yes I think it is still ownd by the Grady's
Scott Grady has the Apache "Only Rumors" and was the owner of Chief powerboats with his brother Daryl They still have some type of ownership of both the first chief and the chief molds The story has been told enough about these clowns
There is a reason they still have the Chief in there laps

Well I just so happened to come across it last night:
Performance Boat Brokerage | 2006 Apache 42 Chief Warrior
I'd trade 'em for the Chris-Cat

I have always thought that you should own it. You have more seat time in it than anybody, and are the world's leading expert on the boat. Wherever a reference to it surfaces, there you are.
It just makes sense. You are meant to be together.

Does anybody find Only Rumors to be an attractive boat?
