[Ratickle]

I cannot believe how many calls and emails I am getting about this new boat. And it's no where close to done yet....

Hope you enjoy the story and photos. To have another Saccenti designed hull out there is pretty cool. I can't wait to see it perform...

Nothing was supposed to get out until the Miami boat show. It was a project that we've been involved with for quite awhile, and all of us were trying to make sure it stayed under cover as was planned by the manufacturer. We've deleted several posts before now, but someone got their hands on a couple outside shots they put up yesterday and the speculation started, so we had to release the main story earlier than what was planned on....

I almost deleted your comment last week, but no one picked up on it....


Best laid plans you know.....

Paul ...best laid plans you know .............that really is bull considering i might hear things that will never cross your desk , and to tell you the truth i seen a pic of the boat on 1-22 -2012

I was talking about the best laid plans of Checkmate not wanting any pictures or news of the boat getting out before the Miami boat show.

Be nice to see, we've been waiting. Too bad you guys couldn't have got it done for the Miami show. That would have been a sweet splash at the show if it had been possible.



And welcome.....

After all the crap he took elsewhere about the build, bad this, bad that, etc, plus the leak of the build before they could make their factory announcement as they had planned for months, I don't know that I'd chat anywhere, anymore. Sure seems to be more and more of that.


I'll see what we can find out.

 

[Offshore Ginger]

Paul , you sure hit the nail on the head .

 

[old377guy]

yep, Paul's definitely a good nail hitter

I had assumed that the Punisher would have been attending Boyne Thunder and "making the rounds" by now...

Anyone know anything? Updates??

Chatted with the Checkmate guys a bit. The boat is almost completely done, they are waiting for one key part to finish it for water testing. Because of the complete redesign of the interior they have just finished the last couple pieces on that.

They are as anxious to finish this and get it out on the water, actually more so, for testing as we are about seeing it out there. So, about two days after the last piece gets there, it should be on the water.....

I personally can't wait, because as I said, experienced company, avid performance boater management there, Saccenti design, and close to me!:26:

A lot to like about it.
Best of luck to 'em.
Just can't wait to see it!
