I really don't agree with manufacturers doing this. Ok if it has an integrated platform...maybee, but a bolt-on accesory???
Just seems like the manufacturer is hoping that the buyer is unaware that the boat is only 28'3" although it says 300 on the side. Most people probably think they are getting a 30' boat, and the dealer can now charge for 30' of boat.
I'm not bashing Checkmate here(I'm a proud owner of a 253), because all the manufacturers are starting to do this. I just feel it is purposely trying to Mislead the customer for more $$$.

How about them FOUNTAINS?
Talk about not getting the boat you're asking for

In my opinion the guy who started the intigrated swim platform should be shot!

You were right Gslinger
Just for the record, I am a first time owner of a 28 Checkmate w/Twin Merc 2.5 EFI Offshores. Can't wait to unwrap it in the spring!
