FINAL WARNING..... leave the derogatory comments out of your posts. If this behavior and out bursts continue someone WILL be banned. THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE to clean up your act.

I don't care if your king of the world or master of your domain - the bashing is not acceptable in the house where I have more button then you!

Speed Girl, THANK YOU!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! This is not the same layup or set up as any of the previous boats built from this mold, which is all one. I am not speculating any speeds until the boat hits the water next month. I will post on facts and not my personal beliefs or thoughts on what it will run. There were many issues with the Chief set up that could be fixed and have been on this boat. Stay tuned for the real story on this CHECKMATE.

P.S. I am a young guy myself getting into this and do not know many people on the forum. If I was someone with years of success and experience in this industry I would surely not make a first impression on someone like myself as a lot of guys have on here. Guys like me are the future of this industry.....just sayin this won't be the only project........

+1 just stay focussed... I personally like the boat, the old school look..and look forward to the bottom changes and what you did when finished. Very interesting project...Good Luck. Jeff

Well, that's good to hear that you fixed many of the Chief's issues before building the Punisher. Looking forward to the video's of your Checkmate.
Best wishes

Havent read all 22 pages but i like it. Sharp looking boat

Maybe "entry level" for a boat of this size but I think a true entry level boat would need to be a single engine & under 30' and around $100,000.

I know this got lost in the mmmmmmm discussion.

Don't waste your time.

Dont let a couple keyboard jockeys discourage you, there are some good people here on OSO.

Looking forward to seeing it done, it was covered up last time I was out there. Will we see it at the Casino on Kelleys this summer?
