Would Like Your Opinion on New O/B Model !

Alot of the smaller boats do have less room than earlier models but mostly this is due to level floatation requirements. That is why there are so few companies making the smaller boats.
 
Yes I would like to see Checkmate go to a fiberglass innerliner in their outboards. Actually, I know it is big buck technology but the VEC manufacturing process used by Glastron creates a beautiful final product. Where is Checkmate heading technologically? Hey, Cooperider are you saying the gunwales are so wide in the smaller hulls because they are filled with floatation foam?
 
Kip sent me these pics of the plug mock-up with graphics. He also said that the first boat will be completed in the next month or so.

Cross between a ZT240 and a Pulsare! A pair of 250XS would go very nicely on the transom with a nice 15" setback bracket.............
 
that looks awsome just needs a nice motor, I wonder what kind of speeds we will see out of those hulls with a single outboard
 
PULSARE ON STEROIDS!!

Did you leave me enough room to squeeze TWINS on it??? How about the dash space for more gauges AND how about a dash location for a GPS Nav system???

Hey Kip,you have really nice looking boat there. Did you every figure out battery access ? When I up at the plant, you were looking at different options.
 
Could have been better with a moter bracket and no motor well! The 24' Progression has a nice sun deck on the back! Though comp!
 
Never been a Bahaha fan, never will; but one thing I like on their closed bow boats is the walk-thru windshield and steps up to the deck. Any comments?
 
My wife would like something like a removeable sun pad for the rear deck area that would go over the O/B well. You guys know as well as I do, that if they don't get what they want, you ain't getting it either.

Any comments? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>mm. good point , not just on brand b ! many others . seems like it would be easy to add in manufacturing process .for me to access the bow from the cockpit of my 283 involves me walking barefoot like a monkey olong the gunnel / bow rail til i'm on deck . when i do fall someday its "gonna leave a mark"
