    Looking for20 cigarette

    You do remember there is a Yellow 20 Cigarette less than a stones throw from the back building of Checkmate thats been sitting awhile. Has more stress cracks than any deck Ive ever seen.

    98 32foot Fountain 7 HOURS

    Never could understand why they used those dune buggy steering wheels. They must have gotten a great deal on like 5,000 of them or something! The boat itself looks pretty cool though!

    Mike Combs' "Smokin" race boat

    Kip, did you used to have a boat also named Smokin? I think when you lived over on Penn Ave?

    The New ZT275???

    My post was more about the current 17 or so non-Baja Checkmates in the line-up. Your right, I dont have a new boat. I personally dont have the coin at the moment. I could drain my savings and pay cash for one of the smaller boats in the line up like a 1600 but I already have 2 small boats...

    The New ZT275???

    I think I have the solution. Last time I checked, they are still building around 17 different "true" Checkmate models. Instead of complaining about these 4 new models, try sitting down with your significant other and explain how you would like help the economy and the marine industry by buying...

    October 2009's Boat of the Month Nominations

    Is that what they mean when they say dry docked?

    anybody on here selling the 1988 25 ft convincer on ebay?

    I talked to this guy a few weeks ago. He had a couple other boats I was interested in. I bid the first one up and met the reserve. I started getting shipping quotes then went away for the weekend. When I got home he had ended the auction early. I started bidding on the 2nd boat, then said...

    rumor about sea ray in bucyrus again

    I havent heard any rumors about Sea Ray. It would be a good thing for our town, but they currently have people laid off down there. Plus, down at Sea Rays Merrit Island plant there is a huge new building sitting empty. It has one of the biggest overhead hoists Ive ever seen. Outback there...

    New 35ZT Checkmate pics

    Not only the money, but think about the time it would take to start a new 35 from scratch. Imagine the time it would take to get just the deck and hull plugs ready. Then the time it would take to make the molds and have them in perfect condition for the first parts. Coop, how long do you...

    New 35ZT Checkmate pics

    Didnt they frankenstein a 40 Outlaw deck onto a Fountain hull? It seems like no one is talking about the new Bajas By Fountain anymore.

    New 35ZT Checkmate pics

    I cant speak for Dock, but he made alot of good friends in the Baja Chain and was/is a very loyal Baja By Baja fan. My opinion........ Im not a fan of paint unless its custom paint. If they were going to paint them, why didnt they come up with something original instead of using our old...

    New 35ZT Checkmate pics

    Are you asking me my opinion on Reggies Bajas or why Hawkeye doesnt carry them? Im not a potential buyer, so my opinion is pretty much worthless but Id be happy to share it with you. Its probably similar to your opinion of what you call the "Beckmate". :D

    New 35ZT Checkmate pics

    I totally agree with you that the Baja molds allienate the true Checkmate fans, this is a hardcore group of guys. This website is proof. But looking back to just a few years ago, Checkmate was barely a blip on the radar anymore. I rarely saw any new boats coming out of there. Now you drive...
