WOW!! I like it! Notice the bow rail is inset into the line along the deck......Nice gauge layout.....Graphics are cool AND have the 'ZT' as part of the layout......The new ZT hulls are very new looking. Don't get me wrong, I love the older 'Mates but these new ones are HOT!

Thanks ZO6, as soon as I start getting pics of it in production(hopefully) I will see if Chris will post them. I will keep graphics and color scheme quiet until the pics come through. It will be a little different, hopefully shows up on digital camera!

I don't think its a magazine but have seen something by the name of it. Oh yeah, it already sounds awesome! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

We had what is called Rooster tail turn for the Unlimiteds in Detriot. At the race course they had Rooster Tail restaraunt and there was a rooster tail newsletter for the unlimteds. That is all I have heard of.

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gifOk??? When I looked through it, it had complete restoration stories written by the people who are doing to restoring. It also had advertisements for differnt companies. I havn't heard much more that that. Thanks for the link JW, even though there doesn't appear to be much Readers Rides and Boating Gallery pics.

What C'Mate god fails to realize, is that most of us (so far) are dedicated outboard po' folk that have never been near a Checkmate bigger 'n 20'...LOLOL
As the site gets bigger, we'll ALL know what all these great boats look like from year to year http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif as we 'fill out' the membership with everything made past to present.....

True. I still like the boat. I love those graphics. Any idea on how long until some pics Bill? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sleep.gif

Guys, this is an argument over semantics. Nothing is really ever, completely, new. I suspect if the boat was all new, people would be complaining they should have worked on improving the old boat because it was already great.

I just know the new ZT looks awesome, and that's good enough for me. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gifI agree with Chris and Bill (I am speaking for you here Bill) the ZT is an awesome looking boat. I don't care what you all say and I don't want to get into any arguements over a nice looking boat. It might not have changed much, IT IS still a Checkmate so whats the problem... Didn't get that joke Checkmate God... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

01-22-2003, 09:44 PM
I would be too! COME ON KIP, GET SOME PICS OF THE BOAT. What are the other specifications you are getting for the boat, like any other options??? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

Well... let's see if I can remember. Gaffrig gauges, Silent chioice, bezels for gauges, pop up cleats and bow light, tabs, indicators, gaffrig depth finder, 6.2 litre w/ bravo 1, and aome other trivial stuff that all adds up fast.
