I know its hard for you to understand the laws of physics. But I will try to explain. You take one big block boat and times it by two.

2 engines
2 outdrives
2 throttles
2 shift cables
2 ton pull rig
2 bill folds full of cash to fill the twice the size fuel tank

and oh yah the best part 4 exhaust pipes with a lot of jack johnson racket to piss every tree huggin fairy off.

I think that the factory is Merc Racing "Certified" and they have rigged HP stuff before. They had to get certified to install a few 525's that they have done, and I believe they may have installed a 700.

So what do we have here? Paint over blue metal flake gel and an airbrushed Liberty? Or is it all paint?
 
Pretty sure it's all paint, but wouldn't bet the farm on it. Actually, if I remember correctly, they had just pulled it from the mold last time I was at Cmate and it was solid white gel.

I understand they can bolt in a motor.
Theres alot more to the boat then just the motors.

And there is a lot more to being Merc Certified than just being able to "bolt in a motor".

I was just sharing what I knew about Checkmate's rigging abilities and adding to the discussion about the rigging of this particular boat.

Thanks for informing me that once you bolt in a motor there is more to be done...I had no idea. :shakehead:

This is not what I was meaning.
I mean is the factory going to rig it or is being rigged by another person.
Like when Wildman rigs his own Checkmates. They usally get a bit more attention to detail and the best of parts.
 
It's all paint boys!!! Courtesy of the one and only Mitcher T!!! No worries on the rub rail, stainless insert going in. No intentions of whacking the dock though, should have plenty of crew, as well as experience in this size boat....If you think it looks good in pictures, they do it no justice!!! You have to see it in person!!! The rigging will be spectacular, no worries there.....
