    Around that time frame Bobby wasn't building many boats and was nearing retirement. He's roughly the same age as my father (67 yrs old). McManus won the lawsuit because the only person who was "entitled" to hold the rights to the Apache name was Saccenti. So when Saccenti relinquished Apache...

    Saccenti didn't "take" the molds to the 22/24/28/36 because he made them under his company name "Apache Boats", your statement is incorrect.

    That's incorrect. It is derrived from the 41' Apache hull with the step insert from the 36' Apache and the deck from the 36' Apache.

    The Chief ran good in rough water so I'm sure the CM will also! Plus, you won't have to run the gobs of HP that I run in my boat (850hp a side) to run 90 mph! :banana:

    What does it read with 15-18% slip. 10% sounds very low for a step bottom IMHO. I have the little brother of this boat (36 Apache) and I run 11% slip.
