I'VE CHECK ON THE NET..AND I DONT SEE CHECKMATE ON THE EXHIBITORS LIST FOR TORONTO BOAT SHOW..

 

[Chris E]

last year new ark marina, the dealer in muskoka had 2 or 3 mates down there

 

[Chris]

Mate don't usually do many actual exhibits. They usually rely on their dealer network to represent them at the different shows.

i hear they gave them up! after 1 season!

 

[Chris E]

news to me, but that doesn't suprise me any.

how did you make out with them this year?

 

[Dave Y.]

i'm pretty happy with them, we have 1 load of 06's here working on another load.

 

[Black Pulse]

I will be going to the show again this year, this time actually looking to purchase a new boat!!!

I always get a few extra tix thrown my way from a couple of marina operators I know well, so again, anyone living in Canada I would be happy to mail you a ticket or two -at no cost obviously! We'll call it a Christmas gift!! Just let me know if interested.

B.P.

 

[Chris]

What are you looking at buying BP?

 

[Black Pulse]

Hey Chris, hope you had a Merry Christmas, and everyone else too for that matter!

I won't be buying a Checkmate, I am still way too happy with the one I've got!

Looking to trade in a 1991 (or maybe even '92)22' Searay on a new 22' Chris Craft Launch. I love the new styles that Chris Craft have introduced and would like it to compliment the Checkmate. We want a nice cruising family boat, but will wait for the right price.

I will def. be taking a gander at the Lake and Trail display though. I will send ya the pics that I take of the Mates at the show to post.

B.P.

 

[Chris]

Funny enough, I'd really like a Chris Craft Speedster. I eyeball them all the time. Pirate Cove in perth has one on the Auto Trader right now. No price is listed though. Those things are really kewl looking, I love the retro style. They are by far the best looking family I/O's on the water. After Checkmate of course.

Merry Christmas to you too BP.

 

[JW]

Nice looking boats, but for the PRICE you can get a lot more boat with other brands. The chris craft line is overpriced imho

 

[Chris]

Maybe, but they really have a cool look to them. And they'll do 60ish with a small block, which is pretty good.

They're expensive though!

 

[Black Pulse]

I love the retro, James Dean's Porsche look to the Chris Craft....I test drove the Speedster (had it alone actually for a few hours - dealer's a friend of mine) and it is great but still a bit small....the windshield only comes up to your chin, if you're lucky, and the wind is too much....it's also just a bit too small for any bit of choppy weather as I discovered...the 22' Launch with a Merc 320 is a beauty, 60mph for some zip and a perfect cruising boat....we'll see what happens at the Show I guess....

B.P.

 

[WILDMAN]

The Daytona Beach, Fl. boat show is in a couple weeks. I'll be taking 4 new mates and a bunch of Liberator tunnel boats there. There's not a single sportboat or performance boat dealer at the entire show. Nothing but white fish boats, cruisers, and Dorky bowriders. Hopefully I'll sell a few. This is my first boatshow, and my first year selling Checkmates.

 

[JW]

Good luck Wildman! If you're the lone hot boat provider, then you'll attract a crowd!
