I like the concept of borrowing tooling (albeit "splashed"repeatedly like a whore at a sailor's convention) to avoid investing in something that may not have a market. I also have always been a fan of the Apache 41, so this looks like a good design choice.
That having been said I have never related to Checkmate's taste in boat model names. Calling something a "Punisher" means what? It punishes people on board? It punishes other people who look at it? It certainly won't "punish" a Skater or OL. While the marketing folks in Bucyrus ponder this, maybe they can answer another question I have had for years. What the H*ll is a Con- vin- cor???

Dude, unless it has something to do with a McManus built Apache or Comanche, do you have anything positive, insightful or helpful to post? Otherwise you just seem to stir the pot and bash when ever you get the chance. Seriously man, what gives? Let Checkmate go about their new endeavor and leave it at that.
Are you just grumpy because that Comanche of yours has not seen water for what, nearly a decade?
