Hello everyone,
Thanks for all the support and nice comments! We appreciate it all! Jim and I just wanted to come on and set the record straight with our Checkmate Community friends. It is true that we are building a new boat. Unfortunetly it is not a Checkmate. Our hull is a 1990 and had a great career in offshore racing. As all good things it has come to its limit of todays hull designs and manufactuer support. We did contact Checkmate before our season started and ask them if they would like to Sponsor us in any way shape or form. At that time the economy was at its worst and they pollitely said that they couldnt at that time. No problem!! We understood.
The decision came when we decided to take offshore racing to the next level. With todays hull designs and deeper V's we feel we need to step it up. Our competition is stepping it up and we want to be competetive at a higher level with less horsepower. Other than that reason the Checkmate was good start to our offshore career.
Thanks again and we hope to see everyone out on the water. Just because we arent going to run a Checkmate anymore, please still feel free to stop by my shop and our website to check in and say hello.
Thanks again!
