Hope you guys do well. I loved my CM, very straight and great gel work. It's also nice to see you haven't thrown a step on every model.

Build it right and the boat will last
 

Checkmate continues to build everyboat, 18 on up all by hand. No short cut chopper gun like many others use. Even the 1st layer of skin coat of fiberglass is rolled out and laid by hand.
So the weight to resin ratio is presise along with the proper curing process.
Checkmate builds the boat one at a time and take your time. You end up with a teriffic finish and a solid performing boat.
No boat at Checkmate is ever massed produced.We frown on it and then it creates problems for the dealer, customer and us.
50 years of Checkmate boats says it all.

Did you guys ever build another 34, you know the one modeled after the Baja 342?
I have only seen the ugly blue and yellow one...please take no offence, not my favorite color combination.

[QUOTE=DENNYB;3598195]In the next five years a couple of New larger offshore performance models added in the works probably will.

You might see one new larger model soon.

Also a all new 26 is very hot with a deeper cockpit with standup drop down bolsters and a flat rear transom available with 8.2"s up to a 700 SCI .
The rear transom is also set for the outboard option as well.
A very deep hullsided water running boat will be ready in February.


I like the ZT 350...will be interesting to see some larger models and deeper cockpits.

Thats what it was called...thanks, it had slipped my mind.

That boat loaded with blue motors, maybe 600 or 700's even would be an awesome ride.

Offended?? No at at all.
You or any Checkmate customer can choose any color on our web site then click on colors build your boat section.
Every he or she customer has different taste in graphic's, colors, options and engines.Yes we have built a few 350 ZT models.

We try to please our customers as much as we possibly can.
You will like what's coming in a way of new models.
Just ask Scott Shogren owner of Shogren Performance Marine.

The Checkmate customer base following is loyal and one of the largest.

JUST A COUPLE OF WORDS:
As once part of, I am deeply sadden on the Powerquest situation. From 1996- 2002 Powerquest Boats was on the verge of a being the top name brand in performance boating. After inside internal problems, it demised everything of its future.

Yep PQ was on top of their game back then...Sad what bad management could do to a company..

Do you recall who PQ got to redisign the 300 now known as the Revenge???
was it Marine Concepts???

John Cosker hull design, tooling by Marine Concepts.

so claremont gets the molds for the price he and steelhead ran them up too ,, cept obviously steelhead didnt want them ,, so claremont paid approx 450 k for everything,, hope he makes it work ,, maybe get PQ name and start it all again

John Cosker of Mystic Powerboats??
