'96 Checkmate 253
Zt 275

I don't know if this is old news but I found a listing for a 275 ZT for sale in Pa. Looks like another Baja carry over. I am glad to see Checkmate pushing on in this poor economy.

got news that they did a 35 as well. looks to be a carry over. looks nice, but again its a carry over so some people hate it, some like it some could care less.
i say as long as checkmate keeps there "checkmate" going then good for them if they can corner new customers who enjoy the "baja mates" as long as its checkmate quality, who cares i guess, let them get threw the hard times, then hopefully come up with a new set up.
hopefully something in the 33 range with a single 600 in it. hehe

yes, in gel graphics. mate has been doing these for years as well.
i must say my 2003 checkmate has a better finish then both my old mans newwer baja. one thing for sure. the hull and gel work on the mates might not have the flash of the baja, but man it is top notch work

no, thats not an outlaw based mold, thats the boss type, the more round one. sucks mate is just tossing graphics on bajas now, but atleast they still have there old lineup and now they have an upgrade for those who love that style baja so i guess its the best of both worlds
