Nice boat! there is also a 2400BR coming out soon!

[Chris]

Welcome aboard Younger!

What took you so long to post? http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/beer1.gif

[175checkmate]

Welcome Younger,
The boat looks great, is that a 250 hanging off the back? Very nice.

[JW]

Can I be the bad guy? Love the boat, never liked the horse head. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif I only like the horse head in stitching on the seat backs.

Looking forward to the 24' bow rider, and I'm REALLY hoping one thing is fixed that I didn't like about the 21' Pulsare. That darn step-up in the back of the bow area tripped up most of my riders.....................

[orangecrush]

Loose the horse head also.looks phoney.

[NYpulsare]

Any idea of when the 2400BR will be released?

[Chris]

The great thing about Mate is you can have it YOUR way.

If you don't like the horsehead....don't order it. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Younger]

that boat is checkmate's rep's boat John ???? something, kip said the 2400br would be out mid oct. i'm not big on the horse head on the side either. i wish Checkmate would improve the interior of all the outboards. Maybe i'm wrong with some of the owners but you look at some of the competion boats their's are alot nicer. Just my 2 cents. the rest of the boat no need to change! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[fnshrmaster]

The boat looks great,except for the horsehead that looks like McDonalds golden arches.I personally like the Black flamed 2400,thats the perfect scheme for me.I think Checkmates interior work is superb,and I have been on many other boats.What maks them so cool is if you want a special color,just ask.Try and get that at your local 4 winns dealer!Keep the 24s coming,lets see one with twins!

[jrumon]

OK... that Pulsare 2400 is a sweet boat and I love the flames (I too don't care for the horse on the side but to each his/her own). I can't wait for the 2400BR to come out!!! It's a beautiful boat as a long-deck, just hope to see MAXIMUM interior space used for the open bow area... More interior, more people, more family fun, and maybe my NEXT CHECKMATE???

I like the idea of twins, BUT with soaring gas prices... Evinrude has a 300 E-Tec coming out this fall, Yamaha has a 300 HPDI & 250 4-stroke, and Merc's 275 Verado (barf)... By the way, I got a chance to ride in a 24'cc with a 275 verado this summer and NO WAY!!!... that thing is an HUGH over weight pig that you need premium fuel for! I think a 225 optimax would run circles around it... and FEEDING that new 'supercharged" 4-stroke is no better than a old 2-stroke!!! Maybe if merc racing releases the 350hp version it may be worth it??? Just my 2 cents...

BACK TO THE TOPIC: Curious on what the test run results are on the Pulsare 2400 with the 250XS or any other motor??? The magizine needs to do a performance evaluation on this one... it's deservers some good PR and exposure! Jim.

[WILDMAN]

JRUMON, the new 250xs motors take 87 octane now.Need a new Checkmate? I'll make you a deal.

[boatn70]

finish and jrumon,

you guys will have to get black with pink flames, just to keep with your currnet theme ya know!!! JK!!

i think id like it without the new horsehead too!!

[jrumon]

Thanks boatn70... I hear ya! http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/lol.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/lol.gif
(that's for Kurt & I)

Like I said over and over again...NO MORE BLACK BOATS! Love the look, hate the extra maintainance!!! Pink was cool with that 300 Promax when I blew by the "manly colored boats"

So WHAT??? will be my next Checkmate??? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif Jim

[JUPITER PULSARE]

Outstanding boat with a muscle boat profile. I still think the 2100 Pulsare sides with the little curve molded in is cooler though. Just need to win the lotto so I can order a 2400 with a 300x...maybe have Wildman custom rig it!! http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[jrumon]

Wildman... your rigging work is incredible!!! http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/bounce.gif

Hmmm...
Dave in South Dakota... #1 dealer
Randy in Florida... #1 rigger
Jim in Michigan... and need to hit the LOTTO! http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

[brian s]

wow thats a smokin hot boat http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

[WILDMAN]

Jrumon, I finished rigging the 21 yesterday. I put an 800watt Rockford Fosgate stereo in it today. I'm waiting for the wind and rain to stop so I can test it out.

[jrumon]

Wildman... So what is your final rigging set-up on this 21 now??? http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/bounce.gif
Is this one your personal boat your rigging with a 300X... http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/devil.gif
If anyone can squeek every last MPH out of a pulsare it's you! http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/surf.gif
Keep me posted and get some photos of that beast... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
Keep it "sunny side up"... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gifJim.

[WILDMAN]

It's my personall boat. Gotta have a "KILLER" demo boat ya know. I have 5 props to try on a 1.75 Sportmaster. After I find the best one, I'll change to a 1.75 Fleetmaster with a Bob's nosecone. My 21ft Rallysport was 5mph faster with the Fleetmaster. The props I'll try are: 27 Trophy, 28 Trophy, 27 Hydromotive 4 blade that's been labbed, 27 Mazco HP4, and a 28 Performance Propeller "DRAG 4". I'm running a custom 12" setback bracket with a 4.5" Gorrilla 7" lift hydraulic jackplate. I also think the killer stereo will make it feel faster.

[jrumon]

WILDMAN... I have a sweet custom 28p 5-blade "ET" style available as well!

If I get to Florida sometime this winter,
I'll bring it with me, but I want a ride!!! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

[WILDMAN]

Jrumon, If you can, call me tonight. I have some setup questions. I took the 21 out today. Kinda disappointing. 386-788-4378

[JW]

SCT has a lot of seat time with the closed deck 2100 with a 225 EFI and a 300 and then an open bow with a 300X. Maybe he'll see this and pitch in too.

You're running more setback than anyone has done before with a 300X. Did you get some porpoising?

[WILDMAN]

No porpoise whatsoever. The boat was a little hard to handle around 80 by myself. Put a passenger in it, and it settled right down. I was running 27-28 pitch props and rpm was only 6000-6200. I think the Sportmaster slowed me down. I brought a noseconed Fleetmaster with me, but I forgot that the studs are different. Best I saw was 83.7 mph. Best engine hieght was about 1"-1.5" below the pad.What prop worked the best on yours?

[jrumon]

WILDMAN... just saw your posting so I'll call you tonight.

I also swapped from a sportmaster over to a nose-coned fleetmaster housing on my Starflight/300... it saw 2mph gain top end and 3-4mph gain with the motor deep cruising at 3500rpm. My motor height was only 1/2" below the bottom of the "V" but that was with a 10" CMC and the starflight has a 6" notched transom... and 87.1 mph. I really think my 5-blade ET prop would have gottten the slip of the 28 chopper II down enough for 90+mph. You may have to move your battery and trim pump to the port side for single driver balance (I did). Jim

[jrumon]

SO WHAT ARE THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS OF THIS NEW 2400 HULL??? http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/Eyecrazy.gif

http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/eyes.gif ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING YET...???

[Kip Combs]

With a 225 Pro XS it's running around 70.......also thought i'd let you guys know the Bow Rider 2400 is done we are building the first one now! I'll send some pic's to Chris to post asap !

[jrumon]

Kip... any of these 2400's run a bigger motor yet? 275 Verado, 300X, 300 V-max or ???

VERY INTERESTED in more info on the 2400BR http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[SCT]

[jrumon]

ANYONE know how this 2400 hull runs with a 300 yet???
http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif
Merc 300X, Yama 300 HPDI, soon to be 300 ETEC???

[WILDMAN]

I may be ordering a 24 closed deck next week. It will get a new 2005 300x on it. Jrumon, let me get you a price at least, if you buy a new one.

[jrumon]

Thanks Randy! I'm just thinking for a future boat, and like OB power... Shoot me some photos of your 2400...are YOU rigging that one? Jim.

P.S. If anyone is interested in knowing about that 21 Sonic hull for handling, condition, etc. Have them call or e-mail me... was a great boat!

was browsing boattrader and saw this boat in there!http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/0/3/82546003.htm

was someone trying to make money off this or was this a dealer that had the "special" grafics put on at the factory?
