CHECKMATE Makes Waves With 2 New Revitalized Designs to be unveiled at the Miami Boat Show.
January 23, 2009, Cleveland, Ohio – CHECKMATE MARINE, INC., a well-known manufacturer of performance speedboats, announces the launch of two new innovative high-performance boats: Checkmate’s SFX 250 and Checkmate’s 244 ZT. These exciting new models are the latest in a line of new performance-inspired sport designs emerging from the workshops of Checkmate Marine, Inc. in Bucyrus, Ohio.
Checkmate’s sleek new 25’ SFX 250 projects a breakthrough design that refuses to be pigeonholed. For families and sports lovers, this boat promises to be the ideal outdoor entertainment center, providing hours of fishing, diving and water-skiing fun. For speed-demons it will be a muscular, wave-running ride capable of mid 60 mph thrills. With a high-performance hull, center console, custom wrap around bow seating, new 2010 all in-gel graphics and innovative features like LED lights in the T-Top, the SFX 250 will be the envy of the waterfront.
Checkmate is also introducing an exciting new 24’6” hi-performance sports boat – the 244 ZT. This nimble model combines the custom options and uncompromising quality that is the unmistakable hallmark of Checkmate. Along with the new 2010 all in-gel graphics, the 244 ZT incorporates a host of quality features, including McLeod sit down seats, offshore electrical gauges and the unmistakable I/O performance of a Mercruiser 496 HO capable of pushing this boat to mid-70 mph speeds.
These two new sports performance models herald a new era of superiority for Checkmate. With president/owner Doug Smith at the helm of the company’s newly developed design and R&D team, Checkmate is leveraging all it’s resources towards designing and constructing the finest quality powerboats on the water.
