No reason for me to be anything but happy boys!!!! Love the boat and should have it out in a few as soon as it is done with the touch ups and getting the hatch painted. To say I am excited is an understatement!! I am looking forward to keeping everyone up to date on this beast as soon as we hit the water.....I know it has already been, just not with me in the boat yet. Need to have it 100% before I take it out myself which involves a couple small touch ups and getting the hatch painted, I am just meticulous like that....

As to not sound like im being a hater or a d*ck I will start by saying i actually like this new boat, the galley area is awesome really like it, great power choice and looks nice.
Wiht that being said why in the world would someone pay 500K for a checkmate? I mean isnt that like paying 300K for a camaro when you can buy a lambo or ferrari for the same price?
There are far better choices out there for 500K with proven results witht V bottom hulls. I mean Cigarette is the pinnacle of twin step hulls so why choose checkmate?
Like I said I really like the looks of this boat but not at this price point. Chances are they probably cant make the boat for alot cheaper and still make money with the cost of drives, motors etc...
Maybe checkmate should have just keopt doing what they seem to do well and that is smaller, more affordable boats.
Just my .02

Do you or anyone know what a new 42 Cig Tiger with full cabin and 700's is costing now?
If I read it right, starting price for a Sunsation F4 is $600,000.
