Re: broken checkmate
 

i heard a rumor that that boat hit a stump or something!!

Re: broken checkmate
 

maybe just a rumor though, im not saying that it happened!!!

Re: broken checkmate
 

Wow...

Stop the presses!

Checkmate's transoms ALWAYS crack and EVERY boat has an engineering flaw.

That's unbelievable!

I'd say the real truth is that a few of you just have an axe to grind.

Re: broken checkmate
 

no stump was ever hit !! no axe to grind its long been over now just some facts for people that dont want to end up with a possible piece of sh*t like I did !

Re: broken checkmate
 

point taken! its always good to hear the rights,wrongs, goods and bads!!
it is unfortunate though, that it happened that way!!
i have to say, ive had a couple checkmates now with great results, hopefully im able to keep saying that!!

Re: broken checkmate
 

sorry to hear about your problems,but why did you wait so long to tell us your story????? : :rolleyes:

Re: broken checkmate
 

Hmmm....

Same trash talking here about an engine builder. Lots of bashing and little if no facts.

Re: broken checkmate
 

these are both real experiences!! no Bs sounds like you have a grimes motor in a checkmate ! just posting so others that care can not have this happen to them ! Imay be one of a few but I am one ! so this post was to inform everyone that this happened and checkmate never repaired it correctly! Chris I guess your boat is a good one but dont bash me!!!

Re: broken checkmate
 

as it has been said before, you cant please everyone....things happen to many things by many people. great boat and motor builders make mistakes. if i have ever had a problem with a builder or mfg, i wouldnt go back to them either. so, jim, you make a fair claim in my book!!
i guess i would have just stated it a little different, however, im not in your shoes.

hows the skater holding up, awesome boats!!

Re: broken checkmate
 

the skater is awsome, best boat ive ever owned! sometimes you get a bad boat I did! the problem is in the way checkmate handled it! anyway not to beat it into ground just wanted to keep people from getting in same situation!checkmate had a chance n did not make good! is that stated better?
