whoops ,,, how'd you say ? "my bad" :drink:

Tom,
I am back where my roots all started in this business with Doug Smith at Checkmate.
We are doing major changes adding and face lifting our boatline going into Checkmates 50th year in boating.

I heard about who, what, and where on PQ. I am not at liberty to say because my involvement in the industry.
Also we did not bid on any of the parts and pieces because of the products age.

Can't wait to hear from the "industry insiders" what really happened? And what will? Rich GMG

things have changed
 

Look At The Auction Web Site.

As Of Today, Claremont Has Either Matched or Won The Rights To The Molds.
Looks Like He Has Claimed Everything.

Makes Sense.

An Agreement Must Have Transacted In The Last Couple Of Days Between Those Two High Bidders.

One can't operate without the others tooling and building materials.

Might want to update your avatar.

Good eye!!

Good Luck at Checkmate...
I allways liked Checkmate...I think their gel work is second to none..

Thank you !

If your ever interested ? just let me know.
We have a few new surprises coming.

Any step hulls??

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.
We already have begun taken orders.

Shogren Performance will have the all new 26 at there upcoming open house this Spring. It will be a 2013 model.

The present line up of hulls are so right on with any engine combination and weight, no reason to change.

Thank you for asking.
