New 2004 Models

I read in a performance boating mag. that Checkmate is coming out with a new 218 ZT model (a transformed Persuader) and a new Pulsare 185. No pictures were provided, but would be nice to see. I became interested in the ZT230 through the pics. posted on this site. The ZT230 was also said to be their top-selling boat.
 
We'll have to ask Kip.

Mate are usually pretty good about providing preview photos if they build a new boat.
 
Both models are new for 2004. You can see the plug for the 18' Pulsare in work on my article on Scream and Fly. The new replacement for the small Persuader is indeed the 218ZT. I did not get any pictures of that one, I don't think it was in development when I took my tour.

Checkmates owned: 1995 Pulsare 2100BR/1995 Mercury Promax 225 2.5 EFI. 1995 Persuader 183/4.3 LX V6. 1992 Pulse 171/1992 Mercury XR6 150 hp 2.5 liter.
 
Just sent Chris some pictures of the new ZT 218 BR.......the hull mold is done for the Pulsare 1850 ....but the deck mold is still being built. Not far enough along to show yet, KC.
