Tristar,
You might want to take a look at the new 244 Checkmate also. I was very impressed with it, and I could not believe the value/cost ratio. It is a clean looking 24' boat, just like you like. Be the first to have one?
Like you said, the brand is just a decal on the side of the boat!

I am interested in what the new Checkmates will look like, but apparently there is a picture ban until the show starts. When is that? I need something fun to look at to get me through the winter months in Chicago, and that new Pachanga definately is not doing it for me.
Are we talking something more big water (Lake Michigan) oriented than the older Checkmates?

Around 53-54 with one person driving it. We still used the old style speedo "pickup" that was on the boat, off to one side.....and I forgot how bad that system worked! The prop is not the right style yet. (large dia.) and the motor only turns 4000 until you over trim the drive. Will do more testing when the water is liquid again.

If I do that, I wont be able to bring you an old Pachanga to restore, haha.

Check out these Baja Blast jet boat seats that we just redone for Teambaja's new toy. He has not even seen them yet. We did keep good patterns for this seat because there seem to be many out there that need replaced.
