    Future checkmate owner?

    Hey Smoking Gun, I have a 22' Convincor and boat out of Norwalk CT. I make frequent trips to Oyster Bay and Hempstead Harbor. I'm hoping to put my boat up for sale this summer after I do a few upgrades. I'm always willing to take people for a spin, weather permitting of course, the sound...

    Why on earth....

    Why on earth did checkmate put both batteries on the same side of my 97' convincor 220? Not only are they both on the same side of the boat, but they are both behind the helm. If anyone takes the boat out by themselves it is seriously off ballance. Take a 1 foot wake from either side, and you...

    Checkmate fanatic or internet fanatic?

    Rooster Tail Question

    Thanks MATT, Watching that vid is what made me want to ask that question. I don't know if I have the guts to try that if it might screw something up.

    Rooster Tail Question

    Hey guys, This is going to sound like a layman's question but how do you make a rooster tail on a boat with a I/O drive? And is it bad for the boat and the engine? And is it unsafe? I know it's not good to run the boat with the drive up, so how far is too far? I don't want to do anything...

    2010 Checkmate 36' Twin Step Hull

    Its funny how guys who like Fountains call it a Fountain, guys who like Bajas call it a Baja, and on this website its a Checkmate. Is it actually going to say Checkmate on it? Is it going to be made at the Checkmate factory, Or are we just calling it a Checkmate because Doug Smith is involved...

    That looks like a real nice boat! I wish some of these boats I see for sale were available a year ago when I bought mine. Good luck selling.

    1996 28' Convincor 500hp $25900

    In what state is the boat located? There is no location for your username. This might be important for someone seriously interested.

    Beckmate popularity

    I realize this thread has turned somewhat hostile. That wasn't my intention. I'm beginning to feel sorry for starting this thread. The reason why alot of the members feel so strongly about the new designs is because they love the checkmates they have right now. We all know that no boat will...
