That's a very good question! We have a dealer (Knecht) in Louisville area..can't get financing! Alot of our dealers are afraid to stock boats and spend money on shows with the economy the way it is? :confused:

Yes, there is one in the Atlanta area. I went their in the fall and was looking at the Stilleto. He also had a Pulsar and I think a couple Convincors.

I was at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show in October and Checkmate had a large display, maybe 6 boats in all. They looked great as always. However, the salesperson was a joke. He indicated top end speed on several boats that was way off. I almost made a bet with him in regards to a 21' mate with a 225hp Merc. as he indicated the boat would do 80mph. Yeh, in his dreams. :confused:

I recently sold my 1990 21' Starflite with a 200hp Merc. and even when new the boat had a top end of 68mph. I only wish the salespersons at these shows knew as much as avid boaters.

I went to the Chicago boat show and there was no mate display either. As a whole I was very disappointed with the show. I'm hoping to go to the miami show.
