Nice job Ragu!!!
Your thread on S&F about the 16' SB convinced me that I needed a Side or Center Console. What a great boat!
I bought a side console last week, so thank you for costing me more boat money!!!!!!
The wife also sends her thanks! 
LOL
Keep up the good work.

Misery loves company!
You can never have enough boats. I splashed the SB16 for the first time today since the rerig and restoration. It is VERY quick. I did not have batteries for my portable GPS so no numbers. I am alittle concerned having my son and daughter using it, it is kind of flighty. May need to put a smaller motor on it. Best of luck with the new boat, what did you get?Here it is on the lift!
Never took shots of it. Here is one as I was going up our canal. I'll shoot some more this week. This picture is at sunset. The interior and rigging is top notch and I drove it last week. The Starflight is a very nice handling boat. I had an Enforcer O/B and an MX14 many years ago.

I have a question about the cap at the bow. When I look straight into the bow the port side looks as if it dips lower than the starbord side. Is this just my boat or was this done at the factory on all boats? I thought I saw the same thing on the boat ragu has posted here.
I read where Checkmate had problems with the motor well area breaking when the deck was removed from the mold.
