Stretch your budget a little bit and it can be yours. After owning a 311 Formula and now this I can tell you I noticed no extra challenges with docking the Cafe over the Formula.

Your Checkmate is under powered that's why it beats you up. 8-900 hp in a mid 20ft boat gives them a whole different ride when it's nasty out.

we had a 32 sunsation dominator twin 496ho 425hp it ran low 80's Very easy boat to dock and trailer.
