    There are quite a few of the build details that they have never released, but it is certainly a glass and lay-up schedule that rivals the best out there. So, I can't wait to hear either. The 700's should make a 90mph 43'er in my estimation. And, the way the Chief/Saccenti handled, this should be an incredible boat.

    I can't wait either.

    Boat was in the water today. No numbers yet but it looked good. There is a short video of it on the Checkmate forms.

    considering this is supposedly the biggest , and baddest boat ever built by Check which only means we need to see some serious numbers ( speed ) opposed to all the hype that we have read in the past.

    I am sworn to secrecy, but a 43 footer, full cabin and interior, twin 700's factory warrantied, is a nice accomplishment. And they are not done tweaking yet.......
