    Checkmate back according to their facebook page!

    Yes they are in NC. They are only advertising the 2400 because they are still going through all their backorders from the Covid era drama. I personally have an order in for a 2100, so i know they will make those. Pete Caldwell owns it now and i had a phone call with him recently. He said they...

    Current Caldwell Checkmate production

    I just spoke with Pete Caldwell. He said they are going to get the 2100 mold out of storage now. I’m sure they are putting it through the quality checks process and updating it slightly. But they will begin production on the backordered 2100s shortly. Pete said they are updating the upholstery...

    I ordered a 2100. I'm not certain how many backorders there are presently. I do know however that Caldwell is seriously thinking of making the new boats 22 feet and 26 feet. (2100s would be 2200s and the 2400s would be 2500s). This is something we may have to deal with even as a backorder...

    From what I understand, people did step out of line for the waiting list. Whether it was from being tired of waiting or frustration due to lack of communication.

    This is crazy, because I just spoke to my dealer that said he has one coming in for a customer in 2 weeks. We're actually scheduled to drive from Ohio to Wisconsin just to look at it out of our own interest.

    Attention everyone. I'm finding out now that my dealer (Tinus Marine) said these boats are being made again. I guess Checkmate is still dealing with some legal matters, but someone (unknown) bought the molds and are producing again in North Carolina. The building in Bucyrus Ohio is in production...

    Oh oh oh. That's from 2 years ago. Caldwell is not building any boats right now. Basically out of business at this point.

    You saw new 2400 and 2000s on the showroom floor? Or they were just saying they were selling them?

    Zero. I've had a checkmate on order for a year and a half. There is no progress whatsoever.

    Oh shoot. You're not wrong. The last time the page was viewed or edited was 3 weeks ago. The article must be older.
