I think a good name would be to call it what it really is a H2

So call it The Retro H2X by Checkmate

Us Checkmate owners own Checkmates for the style just like you Baja guys what if Bayliner stuck a Baja sticker on a 24 foot hull how would you feel then
You should be flattered that he would build a new Checkmate based on a Baja. It IS the H2X. Funny how this whole thing was worded...I always looked down my nose at Checkmates! Just kidding.

The whole Bayliner/Baja analogy is a real stretch.

Dock, like most of us is a boater. He doesn't consider Baja, Checkmate, or any other brand as inferior, if that's what the owner likes.
He's been ridden pretty hard here recently by a few people.

Umm, ok. I thought this was a discussion board. Seems there are always rules on what we can talk about.

You guys are the ones doing the detective work here. No need to point out the obvious.

I know as well as anybody else he was very proud of that new BECKMATE like he built it himself out of his garage.

But he loves his Baja's and I can accept that and I love my Combs era Checkmate

Just think about all the trash that got talked about the Fountain buy out this post was nothing
