		<title>Preview Pics of the New Pulsare 2000 BRX</title>
		<link>http://checkmate-boats.com/modules/News/showarticle.php?threadid=19284</link>
		<pubDate>Sat, 25 Sep 2010 16:41:22 GMT</pubDate>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some preview pictures of the brand new Pulsare 2000 BRX model that has just been released.  
  
Kip sent these pics over and tells me that there will be some special preview pricing available, including a base model with handful of options and equipped with a Optimax 115 which will be very attractively priced - best to check with your local dealer for details. :thumb: 
  
The 2000 Pulsare model is built and set up very similar to the 2400 BRX and with the 115 Opti it topped out at approximately 50 MPH. Kip reports that when tested with the 115, the boat got on plane very quickly with very little bow lift, so it should make quite a good ski boat as well. 
  
Enjoy the pics! :)

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Gang, 
  
I have it on very good authority, that the final touches are being put on Checkmate's new official website and that it should go live VERY shortly. ;) 
  
From everything I've heard, it sounds like it's going to be great! Lots of work has gone into the new site and the guys tell me this is just the beginning and there is even more to come. :thumb: 
  
Here's a link to the official site, the new site should go live within the next 24-48 hours, so try not to wear out that refresh button in the mean time. :D
