It's a awesome boat, every time I walk around her I am amazed at how deep she is, tons of freeboard but still has great lines.

Gotta say was pretty impressed how flat and level it ran in some snotty water.

This boat is venturing into the big boat market and needs to match performance and features offered by the competition to be successful. Unfortunately top speed is a huge selling point that this boat needs to improve or it will be a one off production like the Chief boat.

I like Checkmates and respect their ambition in tough times to revive a big powerboat in an ever so shrinking market.

Didnt the 42 chief run 110 with 700s and arnesons? I think the hefty price tag is what kèeping more chiefs from being built
