Graphics!!

O.k. guys, I guess you are all right there is no way to improve the Checkmate Boat Co.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I personally like the Checkmate graphics. I think too many manufacturers graphics are over the top. It's like they can't make a quality boat, so they try to make up for it with graphics. Graphics that too often look dated, very quickly.

That's just my little old opinion though...

Not to get technical, but for the guys that don't own a ZT series, if you look at the bottom picture, you can see the inverted hull. A stepped hull runs throught the complete boat, often times creating really radical,angled steps, in some brands even dangerous. The Checkmate hull is actually a traditional hull, then it's "cut" and brought straight up about an inch. This is just enough to free the "friction" between the hull and water, but far enough back, and small enough it doesn't cause other issues common with other brands stepped hulls like... turning! Just an FYI.. Rick

Graphics I don't have no stinking graphics. In 1975 you have 2 color 1 color. Bummer, going to have to get some. Well next year.

I like the Checkmate Graphics too... Even though they don't get too fancy with them, I like the way to boat looks with a solid colour on the hull, like a red or a yellow, then black and white to fill in the rest... My opinion...

P.S. It probably took me around 10-15 minutes to type this because I am sleepy

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!

Hey Z! Yeah, I love the ZT lines and everything about the boat, It is the perfect package for me. I will say this about my graphic package, I did NOT go with the ZT graphics. Kip and I are throwing some "retro" in it. Just a little teaser.

God, I know the difference between painting and gelcoat, and what I meant by where you live is, there is a guy up there who does good painting for graphics, which I would not want. Maybe I misunderstood what you wrote, sometimes it is difficult to understand what you write.

Retro... You don't have the ZT on the side? Now I really can't wait to see!

I'm sure whats going to happen in August... I an thinking about trying to come down but I might not be able to. I would love to come down and see all your Mates. So your saying Rick could sell me a Pulsare and I could tow it home in the same day. Sounds good with me! For now, I will have to see your pictures...

Are you a little behind. Bill, if I am not mistaken, has traded him boat to Rick, who already has it up for sale again. Right now he has no boat until the ZT comes in. Am I right Bill?
