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?

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.

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.

WOW I have a 2002 Pulse 210 with a 225 EFI and the best I can get is 70 mph with a 23" 4 blade. WOW!!! 80 mph... I wish I could have made a bet with that sales person to.
