This is an inside look at boat building from the Checkmate powerboat factory and how that compared to Baja. Both companies were located in Bucyrus Ohio, they both produced quality, fast boats. This video illustrates the difference in culture between "old school" craftsmanship and modern production, while both companies built some of the best boats in the industry.

I know this video is about twenty plus years ago, but what about masks for the workers laying fiberglass? Sheesh!

Very cool to get an inside look. I currently have a 99 272 Baja that would have been there about a year before.

Had both Checkmates and Bajas, Checkmates were the better boat but loved them both!

I grew up not far from Bucyrus. I never cared for the pinks and purples for a boat. Forever a fan of Checkmate and Baja. I happen to own a 30’ Baja. Uh, what about Lake Erie dude?

You are correct! I presuming that you're referring to a comment I made about Bucyrus being close to water. Lake Erie is still 45 miles from Bucyrus. Growing up in Minnesota, I guess I'm a bit spoiled by so close to so many lakes. That 30' Baja is like a treasure to me. Great boat!
