Not supporting him saying it.... But 75% of the boats around.. Including mine... are a POS compared to a Tuff....

That's why I want one.


Oh ya I get it Mitch... I'm sure his boats are the best thing since sliced bread, just ask him he'll tell you, and than proceed to insult whatever you happen to have. I got rubbed the wrong way when he told me "Checkmates are built like shit, poor quality parts and workmanship", after he asked me what kind of boat I had... What kind of person tells that to someone's face... Why not just promote the positives about your own product? Low fucking class in any event. This as I was standing there with my wife and kids at the Boat Show looking at a 16' for the kids, Chequebook in pocket. Maybe he was having a bad day, who knows. My wife was shocked, and then I had to explain to my 13 & 14 year old that no our boat wasn't "A piece of shit". I'm sure you know, once someone "rubs you the wrong way" and leaves a bad taste in your mouth you are unlikely to support the product, regardless of how good it may be. I'm sure he's a great guy, but he sure needs to polish his sales presentation if he wants to sell any boats.

Knowing Mark for many years...I'm VERY surprised to hear that. He's probably the least insulting guy I know (not that, that is saying much actually..but..). Shitty experience all the way around and I'm sorry to hear it.

I'm still buying one.

Ever one of those choice boat builder or any other one for that matter, will have something bad to say about the competition, that is just the nature of any game . He may handle thing different after hearing about this. Maybe :mrgreen:
:? I thought that everyone knew that Checkmates are Pieces of $hit ! :mrgreen:

Tough ( no punn intended) decision, as all these come up in my favorite rides, I suppose If I where to build the ultimate 22' and under simcoe boat for me it would be the 22' Talon with Ken's bad ass mota :evil:

Nobody more surprised than I, everybody has a bad day every now and than but wtf :roll: . Putting that bad experience behind me I would think one of his boats would be awesome, same basic layout as what I have but faster.

I've always said if I had the means I would have ten boats. One for every day of the week with three extras because sure as shit at least three would be broken at any given time!

My Fav is timeless classic design V-King, like Shelby AC Cobra classic of performance boats; not a big water La-z-Boy barge like Tuff, or training wheel tunnels.
Takes serious skill to string out and hold V-King at WOT.
Pat, your rig rocks!
