If there was no choice not to get a Checkmate, what would be your next best choice. You can always get a Checkmate but you get my point!, hopefully... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I guess I'd have to go with a Stream. Preferably like the one JW used to own.

I know this is not on the list, but I would have to go with An Eliminator, Daytona 25. I looked at one recently, and of coarse, ordered a Checkmate. Being in my early 30's, I have a lot of boating left and I hope the Combs family keeps up the impecable work (If you are reading Kip, remember these words when you are building my boat) HA-HA http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

Actually, i'd go with an Active Thunder myself, but staying within the vote..i'd have to go with Fountain.. not really into cats, like the big I/O boats on our bay..Baja.. i'd take way,way to much heat.. so..Fountain it is!

I voted Allison. I like a challenging V-bottom and they are my next choice after Checkmate. Problem with Allison is lack of room (no bow-rider) and high prices. Advantage of Allison is top speed, no wood construction, and re-sale value!!

Remember, those composite boats rot too. Wood is a great way to build a boat for strength if done properly but, many do not do it properly.

it would have to be a fountain just because of multi motors and lots of speed and they look cool

I would have to go with allison also. A grand sport would be nice. But price was a factor.

I am very glad I bought my mate, ran all summer with basicly just the fiberglass holding it together. That say's something for the quality of the hull.

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gifI see that we have a vary of results. I chose the hydrostream because I have always liked them, next to Checkmates. I have been around 87-89 MPH in a Hydrostream Venus with a stock 225 Pro Max with a Lightning ET. The top speed for that boat is 95.3 MPH. I still wouldn't mind taking one of those 180 MPH Skaters, but thats really out of my price range! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gifToo Bad http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

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