Wow, they look great. I really think the new bolsters look great, definately an improvement. Interiors look alot better. Still need to do something with the dashes.
Wild Willy looks like you can stay in the family, looks like tehy are making some family open bows and some mcobs.

Agree. Interiors are looking up with the exception of the dashes. Very dated. Need to lose the riveted-on plastic trim piece that hides the unfinished edges. I assume the mold/gel work is top notch as always. I would also like to see a fairing option as the windshields are so low profile they might as well be a fairing.

Yep they are looking damn good except for the dashes. That is the one thing holding them back, they need to go to an insert or something to make it easier to change layout, add gauges, etc. The vinylwork looks awesome, definitely the bee's knees.
I didn't see it at first but that top one is a step hull it looks like!! Or its a reflection...

Jersey Devil- I wondered who bought that boat. My brother and I were talking about buying it when it was listed on SF. You got a hell of a cool boat for the money. How fast does it run?
I agree the new interiors are an improvement for CM. But I still like the molded dashes. Any company can mate up a pre-fab dash to a hull (aka Baja). It's a Checkmate "look". Just my thoughts.
