I think this one was built in Harry's garage?

Who would have thunk it? I never would have guessed that would be their top seller. That is what I get for thinking, right?

Hey, thats that cool little Playmate with the 70 right? Is that one still for sale? Something I could afford...

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!

That Pulsare with the 250XB in the pics is a nice looking boat. Just one comment though, 85 mph?...90 mph?. Wishful thinking. Got to be careful when listing top speeds. Many Pulsare owners out there know it's impossible. It would take way more HP and rpms than that motor can deliver to see mph's like that. To break 80 mph in a Pulsare you need at least 300 hp and you need to turn a big wheel up past 6000 rpms. No big deal, I know you're just repeating what the Merc rep claims.

Higest I have seen is around 85 for a Pulsare. Pop a ET on a 300X and there you go! These 85-90 speeds would make new to boating boaters really anxious to buy this boat. The people that actually know about something, would know its advertising...

Good Morning everyone.. the motor on the 2100 is a 250XB, she's basically a de-tuned 300 so to speak. It's a very expensive motor, and we just found out from Mercury that it's getting scratched and will no longer be available.(the fuel system is no longer available is my understanding). The tubes are 10 bucks, I have one left in grey, but do have more coming. Grey and black are the only color choices. Hopefully within the next week or two I'll have my apparel page done on the website. Sarah worked out really well at the show! Even our competition had to walk down and check out our booth! Very nice! The 220-ZT was a show stopper, in fact our local Baja/Fountain dealer walked down and looked at it several times.. We didn't know if he was checking out the 220 or Sarah.. turned out both! That 220 is a heck of a boat, probably the best in class of the 22's, power hatch and all! Awesome job Checkmate!

Just following up on the information above. I have checked the Bayview web site...no apparel yet. I would still like to order that $10 tube for my deck fluff

and maybe some foamy wobbly pop holders

. Let me know when I can order.

Thanks!

I feel the need for speed!

If you e-mail Rick, he can take care of you.

Is this new stuff or the same old stuff? If so, go to the official Checkmate site and order the clothing thing and it sends you the while page full of stuff and a order form. Whats the difference getting it from Rick or Checkmate? Does it matter?

Big difference, you get much better service from Rick and Rick is cheaper. I will never buy anything from the catalogue again. They do not know how to tell the truth!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Z06]

THats what I thought but I was not sure. I now know where I am getting my Checkmate apparel. Thanks man.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Bro, you can order the stuff from Brilliant Promotions. They are the people that make the items. One thing to watch out for, is the brokerage fees when the stuff comes across the border. Brilliant insist on using UPS who are extremely expensive. My advice is order a bunch of stuff and make it worth your while.

But isn't everyone saying its better to order from Bayview? I mean, I am not sure what would cost more, from Brilliant, and then shipping it to Ottawa, or Rick, then shipping it to Ottawa? Help here please?

440, call or e-mail Rick, he can take care of you much better than that brilliant promotions place can. They have a problem with lying to the customers.

 

[Z06]

Lying? How they do this? I am going to order some stuff something this weekend. Just have to choose what...

They are not honest with you when things are backordered or when they have shipped things ect...
