The New Twin O/B 26' Checkmate
dropped off my sun lounge cushion at the Checkmate factory for them to repair where the hood scoop was, on my Convincor project and did some snooping while I was there.
They had this new model at the Miami show.
I quizzed the boys at the factory about the reported 85 mph top speed.
They laughed and said when they get time to finish dialing it, they expect to see 90.
Has Merc 300 V-8's on it and were the first Ive seen in person.
They are GINORMUS! I bet they're 7' tall.
Anyhow, thought some of you might enjoy seeing this new beauty being built 45 mins from my house.

300 V-8s. Theyre huge!
Looks like the deck is designed for options maybe including rear seat delete which would yield a huge deck.
Interesting idea for steps, integrated into the sliding cabin door.
Opposing settees.
Center section opens independent of base.
Very nice cabin for a 26' boat,
lso had a 24' Open bow w/a 400r Verado that was gorgeous!
