Hi:
Can someone tell me who splashed (copied) the Diplomat and are there any copies out there that are worth looking into? I've heard many companies made Checkmate clones, but not all were of good build quality. Just looking for a decent bowrider at a decent price. I found a Checkmate Bowrider on the auto trader, but it's way overpriced. I saw a Thundercraft Wildcat the other day and it looked just like my friend's Panther Ski Mate II ( a Checkmate copy itself). Thanks.
