[illMATTic]

heres a mate i ran with today. i think its a pulsar. he's got a 225 merc on it with a 10" setback. i smoked him out of the hole but top end we are about the same. i think i had a 1 or 2 mph on him. if you noticed the foto above its the same boat.

 

[Boston Predictor]

sweet! I bet he didnt reckognise your boat with that nice new paintjob
We hardly ever see mates around here unless we head inland to the lakes.
nice to see this old thread back in action

 

[illMATTic]

actually he did reccognize the boat from the checkmate on the windshield.

i have heard of an all yellow mate running around this year i havnt seen him yet though. ill be sure to snap a couple fotos.

 

[illMATTic]

got a couple more from the river. i cant believe how many are around here that are not on this site.

enjoy

i think this is an eluder? its ot a 200 on it.


a nice sportfire

Its amazing how many Checkmates are around at my small lake in Maine. There has got to be 10 guys that live on the lake that have Mates. I will try to get more pictures but here are 2.





The second one is kind of a poor picture. Its not a Mate, but it is definatley a fan favorite on this site. Its an F-13 with a 75 Merc. I will try to get some better pictures of this one because it is super nice. I have run side by side with the kid several times and he runs right around 49mph with 2 people. Sweet little boat. The name on the transom is "College Fund"

I think that blue one with the old chrysler is a starfire. the 14' version of a sportfire

That was Marc's I haven't heard from him in a while. If that is a recent pic then I guess he got the Chrysler back up and running. That's a neat little boat

 

[Johnny HotFoot]

Great pics... thanks for sharing!

 

[illMATTic]

seen this one up at old orchard memorial weekend. he was taunting me all day. when i finally got out to chase him he was gone. damn it!!!

 

[Big Red]

Come on Matt that 81.7 could not catch him. As fast as a outboard takes off you should be able to catch 90% of the boats in the lake without trying.

 

[illMATTic]

here are a couple of my friends here in town. there sure are alot of mates in this area. :cheers



2005 pulsar with a 250 just built with a simon kit up to 345 horse

Saw a few Mates on the lake this weekend.

Nice '91 Sportfire, owners seemed to be NON-enthusiasts....what a shame.




'88 Starliner, these guys were much more into the brand. Nice to see owners that are familiar with their boats pedigree.

 

[Chris E]

that starliner is awesome - love the windshield on it!

 

[Combat Rock]

I seen this boat twice at the same spot and have missed the owner every time. It had a For Sale sign in it one time for 8500.00
