![]() ![]() The boats David was speaking of are these. He had his facts straight, you were shooting your yappy keyboard off again. He then does all the rigging wiring and finishing touches himself.įirst, you owe David an apology. Georgia Stream is now buying the hulls from Jim just like Randy does with Liberator. No I only know of two hydrostreams being built by Jim in Tennessee and by Jonh Spaeth in Cananda. ![]() If you think these boats are built cheap you better check your facts!!! Pound for pound!!! they are as good as anything out there for the price!!! You can pay alot more but you are not going to get alot better - You can pay double the price!!!! but is it worth it!! I've also owned a 17' Checkmate Spectra 170.it ran upper 50's with a Merc 150Xr2 and the little boat would plow through chop! In rough water weight is your friend.my Checkmate will go through water that I wouldn't even contemplate in my Stream or the 21' Talon I've owned.in fact, the Velocity is the only other boat I've owned that would keep up with my Pulsare through snotty water. (a 21' Checkmate Pulsare hull weighs in at 1375 pounds) All Checkmates are fully cored with end grain balsa in both the top deck and hull, this alone makes them heavier (but stronger) than a lightweight purpose built (STV, Euro, Mirage, etc.). A 20/21' mate will weigh more than a 20' Allison SS, new Hydrostream Voyager/Venom, but they are very comparable in hull weight for example to a 22 Progression, Velocity or Superboat. Weight in a boat is very relative to what type of boat your're talking about. I can tell you that the Checkmate is without a doubt a better built, higher quality boat. ![]() I own both a Checkmate Pulsare 2100 and a Hydrostream Valero YT bowrider. ![]()
