They had to have 15 boats at least on display at this phx show. His prices are very good, but from what I have seen and heard he pushes the Merc 496 and 496 HO for the most part, which keeps costs down. But still, a 30' with unlimited gelcoat/graphics for $61,900, that is hard to beat. I've been to their shop many times, walked through it, everything done in house (as of last year at least). Seems to be a great value.

Kelley, I had to try REALLY hard to not start laughing in the guy's face when he told me the Checkmate 28 does 77 mph in Havasu w/ a 496HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a laugh!!
Also, Kachina still does not do the fiberglass inner liner that so many have gone to now. That 34' Bolero seemed like a good deal though.

KCook:
Did ya look at the Checkmates? IMHO Kachina is a LOT nicer.
Just had to say it,

Brad - Yup, the breeze was blowing pretty good at that display! The one that got me was "Kachina paints their graphics, and nobody can make paint stick to a gelcoat"! Given what a big whup Checkmate is with the guys posting from back east ... actually seeing one was a real letdown.
Gotta get to Prescott some day,
Kelly
