Pete Caldwell of Caldwell Marine Designs is excited to be taking ownership of Checkmate Powerboats, and the team at Global Marine Power—the parent company of Hustler Powerboats—is excited for him.

Great news, thanks, Jason.

Good to hear. I think the single OB performance boat market is wide open. If they can keep costs somewhat reasonable and continue to innovate on the newer hulls I think they have a bright future.

Is there a future in Checkmate for stern drive powerboats? Will Checkmate be relegated to another performance center console company? Time will tell.

I have read there is almost zero CC's on the west coast. For the moment there is still a market for these, until the CC virus hits west !
