Hey everyone,
I've got a question for you.
It seems like the Checkmate Playmate is a model that gets talked about a lot around here. As you know, Checkmate is looking at designing a new Deckboat and is soliciting your input. So this thought came to my mind and I'd like to get your feedback.
IF, Checkmate built a new updated 13'-14' Playmate model based off of the current Pulsare hull would you seriously consider buying one in say....the next three years?
Here would be the "theoretical details".
-You could order this boat similar to what you can now, that is semi-custom. You pick your colors, flake (upgrade) or non flake etc.
-It would have a maximum HP rating of 50 and would run 45 MPH +
-Seats two.
-$4,995 Base Model Price-but like all Mates well equipped. (No Motor)
I ask this question because I wonder if there would really be a market for this boat. Or is this a model that we all think is neat and that's as far as our interest goes.
Is it totally impractical and just kewl to dream about owning in a perfect world?
Or is it the perfect alternative to owning a jetski and a viable option considering gas isn't getting any cheaper? And we all know how much we all spend on gas!
I'd like to hear your candid thoughts.
