We lived about 20 mins from both the factories and I always preferred the checkmates.. I bought my first checkmate from kunkels in Ontario oh. They've done about everything you could do with a checkmate boat. They both said the 350s were a nice package

No.. Hasn't sent any picture s yet.. I like the 280s a lot. I just think the 283 or longer would be a little better ride? Lake Erie seems to be rough about 80% of the time. I like the zt 330!! There is one for sale in Texas that looks really clean but they are asking close to 70k for it. Out of my price range.

We may end up rack storing again.. The ramps get really stressful sometimes. But yeah.. There are a lot of cost getting into the bigger boats, like you mention a tow vehicle.. Plus after detailing a 28' boat I've, ive had enough.. Ha

That boat has been for sale for at least 5 years. If you are getting a 28 stick with a single with a minimum of a 500hp. Much easier to work on and similar speed to a twin. My buddy has a 29 warlock with an 800 if you want to go fast in rough water
