How many Checkmates produced per year?

[illMATTic]

I was wondering how many hulls were turned out a year. It looks like there are more owners with 80's vintage hulls. Does anyone have any numbers they could share?

 

[Big Red]

I heard at one time around 250 a year but dont quote me on that.

 

[cooperider]

I remember waaaay more boats than that being built when I first started. Like about 6 or 7 a day at least.

 

[Big Red]

How many boats are they building now a day

 

[Craig]

I remember seeing that their goal was to build 250 in 2008, and that they built around 100 in 2007? Was in one of the boat mags I think...I don't buy them, but when there is a Checkmate article in one, my buddies will give me the issue.

Isn't the build number right in the hull ID #? I believe my 230 was the 49th boat built in 2007 and I ordered that at end of July 2007.

You can find plenty of info about US car production online, I wonder why there isn't a similar resource for boats.

You go through way too much trouble to make an impression on someone you don't know. I'm flattered, really, but I'm just not into guys BigRed. Grab a cold one (or 12) and get over yourself.

The fact that you go out of your way on a regular basis to get my attention by jumping into any topic about me or making topics for me shows that you have an attraction to me for whatever reason you would like to believe. I think you are smelling too many roses.

You dont need to call up Penn Yan Marine I grew up a mile from the factory and they went out in 2000 but if checkmate wanted to get into great lake fishing boats with Penn Yans Tunnel Drive the molds still seat there.
