The Talon 25 got plenty of attention and with twin 300-hp outboards, it should hit triple digits.
Hustler Powerboats (www.hustlerpowerboats.com) took an affordable approach to performance at the Miami show with two Checkmate models, a Talon 25’ catamaran and a Hustler 29 Rockit MC. The Checkmates (www.checkmatepowerboats.net) included a 2400 BRX with a single Mercury Verado 300 outboard and a Checkmate 2600 Convincor powered a 430-hp MerCruiser 8.2 Mag HO engine.
The eye-catching yellow, orange and red 25 Talon had a pair of 300-hp Mercury Racing OptiMax 300 XS clamped to the transom. It was equipped with carbon-fiber dash panels, a Mercury Racing VesselView 4 display and facing seats below the aft hatch. For maximum versatility, the first 29 Rockit MC is a 29’-long mid-cabin bowrider with a Mercury Racing 540 engine under the hatch.
