Biggest Checkmate
 
I saw a Checkmate on the St. Croix River in Hudson, WI yesterday called Traveler's Check. It looked bigger than 30'. It looked like a 35' to me. It had a fairly large windshield like a Powerquest. Not including the new 350 ZT, I wasn't aware of any Checkmate boats this big built in say the last 10 to 15 years. What is it?

They used to make a ZT 330. Same style as the ZT 260, 280

It seemed bigger in person, but it definitely looked like this. Nice lookin' boat.

Probably a 33 ZT. Big ol' boat. I don't think it would cut it with a single.
bro,

you would hate that boat with a single. It would be very challenging to drive in close proximity areas. My 28' was a handful at times, the wind loved to take big bow and push it around!

There is one around Nicholasville Ky looks like a 30 with twins 4 sale. Good looking boat sign says 54 hrs.

yea, its almost like bow thrusters would help. i just love the idea of a huge single in a 30 footer

I hear ya, Sunsation did a handful on 32's with singles. A couple actually run really well with big power. Just around the docks would be ugly. Once you get a boat with twins you won't want to go back. The only thing that sucks is the bill at the gas pump:drink::evilb:
