I am not saying that there is no deals nor no other quality built boats - but I am saying 3 K per foot with a trailer for a brand new 2017 custom boat - hmm that is a deal especially when some chitty 10 year old 25 / 27 ft used boats with asking prices of 40 to 60 K.

so whom is offering a 3 K per ft custom boat with a trailer included ? And a big block all brand new 2017 ? I would like to know - Hell a cheap chopper gun built - with one color and stick graphics lets say Crownline is that price. Agree anyone ?
First, I agree with you, the choice of closed deck, open bow or mid cabin and the build quality and other choices and included options(especially the trailer) is a good value for a new boat in that length. But it is possible elsewhere too, for similar money.

An example below.Their webpage is getting out of date, but Checkmate will get you there too, both quality level, options and price, but I think you would have to call them and nail it all down.

28 skater with 300s. Used are around 80k, run 100 mph, rather low maintenance and not the worst on fuel usage, insurance isn't killer, and only need a F150 to tow.

Good find as well and a real good name on top of. Sold great on the eastcoast and Midwestern areas. See no trailer mentioned unless I missed that. So if no trailer and one is buying retail for custom fit trailer == lets say 5 to 6 K for it brings total to - 91 K give or take a little here ---- for the 26 Checkmate in which comes out to 3500 K per ft. Thats good as well. Still like 3 K per ft in the mix even better for the buyer. Just saying and again good find there as well. Checkmate is a good boat and has always had a good name..

No the trailer is not included, but I think you don't have to pay MSRP and could negotiate a deal with some extras and a trailer and be in the same ball park.

Which is best priced? They seem a bit expensive for what they are imo. I have also never built a boat though.

Scroll down to view all plus the pics of craftsmanship along with the quality. The special pricing ad currently is in the link as well.

I just seen the 340 MTI posted for sale with 400's and I think it was listed at $450k. No where near a bargain.

There is also a TON of other companies that build great o/b cats in the 29-32 range that are a LOT cheaper.

You honestly used the most expensive example of the group..
