I didn't realize that the pleasure version was that quick. That is impressive. Last time I was in a 38 TS TG it did 86-87 mph with 525's but it only had a covergirl cabin.

I thought he was referring to the race boat?

I think it was posted a while back that they used the steps from their 36?

Sorry Frank, I guess I got confused. I thought this thread was about the checkmate which appears to be a "pleasure" version with a cabin. Then others were comparing it to the chief which is definately a "pleasure" version. I just assumed the speeds were for a "pleasure" version since that is what the thread was about.

Mute point then. Would be like comparing a fountain with a full cabin to a fountain with a race layup.

At the end of the day I guess I'd be willing to sacrifice a few mph to keep the stringers attached.

Speaking of.....Did you get your Comanche running yet? That was the only 36 built, correct?

It's too bad I didn't get to see it out on the water before I moved to MD.
