    Checkmate Powerboats to be Dissolved

    CMG I believe is Custom Marine Group and Checkmate was acquired by Caldwell Marine Designs, however, they do both operate out of Washington N.C. Pete seems to have a great background when it comes to custom rigging, blueprinting, and building so hopefully the brand will live on.

    CHECKMATE OWNERS RALLY 2018!!!!

    Since it looks like the Rally will not be happening this year does anyone have any interest in meeting in IL/MO for a gather up. It doesn't have to be the third weekend and there are quiet a bit of options... Shelbyville Lake, Ozarks, Table Rock, or river runs are fun here around such as Grafton...

    Paint vs. Wrap

    They have done some awesome work by the looks of all the pics. I had the same problem around here when it came to finding a reputable dealer to apply them to boats. I believe I'm going with Vinyl Images out of St.Louis, MO. They recently did a couple fountains that turned out awesome but there...

    Paint vs. Wrap

    Jeff, where/who are you using to wrap your boat. The price is pretty fair for some I've got quoted around here. Also make sure to post pics when Its done as I'm anxious to see what you went with and how it looks. I've started designing me but with unlimited options when it comes to a wrap its hard.

    Paint vs. Wrap

    Now if the snow/weather would cooperate long enough for me to get side shots for them to do the mock up that would be great. I'm shooting to have mine done in the middle of April so we will see how it turns out.

    Paint vs. Wrap

    Thanks for the info. and I agree after getting quoted 7-9k to basically just cover the in gel graphics just seems crazy compared to the overall value of the boat. I think I will also move forward with the wrap process esp. since I plan to buy a new boat in the next 5 years and like you said I...

    Paint vs. Wrap

    Looking to update my 283 and am torn about rather to have it painted or wrap. I checked into a wrap and the places uses 3m should be good at least 6-7yrs and is about $2800 vs $9000 to paint. I know wraps have come along way over the past couple of years but still doing research. Any opinions?

    500 Hp Build Thread

    Its going very well and runs like a top. I still have some adjustments to be made to get the most out of what I got. Since getting the motor in around mid July I found a rebuilt/resealed xr so made the swap to that. Its a different g/r than I was previously running so still trying to dial in...
