My thought proccess iss. The brand name factory line boats are going to sellcquicker. People will not ask what they are, and they will bottom out in price faster (judging by what I have seen). You know with formula, ssea ray,scarab, Baja etc. you are getting a great boat that people won't have to ask questions about
People who want a custom boat will seek them out and even wait for one to come on the market. Quality custom boats that are priced right sell faster than you might think.
I sold my last Superboat in less than a month. The boat I bought to replace it was not even on the market. I heard through the grapevine that the previous owner was considering selling so I called him.

I suggested y2k because,
Nice looks, nice ride, I like singles, not a cookie cutter that you'll see ten of at the docks. Priced reasonably.
This will be my next boat in a couple yrs

Name brand is name brand. To be honest there is a lot of custom stuff out there I just dont like and would rather have the store bought stuff. Also with custom stuff its harder to sometimes fix and find parts.
Agreed if I had his budget I wouldnt be getting a baja or checkmate.

The biggest problem with Checkmate is they are currently kind of lacking models in the requested range. They make the Convincor 300 (which is the old 283 hull) and nothing else until the new ZT35 (which is the old Baja 342 hull).
I am thinking about moving up a little bit and I would love a Checkmate 300.
But then again, I would trade my 253 on a Superboat Y2K in a second.

The Checkmate is a hand laid semi-custom boat. They are light on the bling compared to some others, but they are priced right. They have a true 24deg V and perform very well.

I'll likely move on to something like a 33 PP for rough water capability, but this boat has been great in the 3-4 years I have owned it.Carry on.

I love sb and pantera. My two fav mfg
I kinda think sb jumped the shark on stepping the 24 but the y2k really does it for me. Pantera 28s are nice but imo kinda heavy for a single screw and I like singles.

Active thunder 28s are pretty b!tchen too
