Look what I found!

Pics!

OK, for starters, Josh is a good guy. Which surprises me, cuz he's Air Force and "those guys" usually...well, I can't talk bad about Air Force guys because an F-16 pilot once pulled me off of an ant pile I passed out while partying at an air show at MacDill/Tampa, but...I digress. Josh is a great dude. He also got a great boat. VERY clean, he can give you the details. Here's the pics from splash #1!

Ready to drop in the lake...

Yeah, it floats! We didn't even forget the plug or leave it strapped to the trailer the first time.

Yep...looks like a Checkmate should: Aired out and Red.

Everyone, meet Josh. He's a checkmate addict.

And I'm his sponsor.

Once again, it's always nice to put a face with a name! Anyone out there ever swingin' through Fargo, let me know. Nice meeting you, Josh.
 
Congrats dude! Beautiful boat. I have had 2 with that same color combo, 1 was a 1998 ld and an 03 br like yours. Makes me kinda miss mine! By the way, I have a prop you may wanna try on that boat. Any gps numbers yet?
 
Congrats BK!

That's more or less my dream hull right there. :thumb:

It's nice to see you guys get together and make a deal. :)

64.3 earthshattering mph!!! Beat up 23p laser II ain't the right fit. B!tchin beeping betty was on my case all the time cause I was all over the rev limiter....

Last 21LD did 78 w/labbed 27P TP. Looking for another as I type. Watchu got?

Also looking for a 10-12" manual plate.

Will be putting my new Eddie marine elite gauges in and hope to find a nice new steering wheel.

I couldn't be happier finding this boat. Very very clean, 67 hrs on whole rig! Bilge is nearly spotless too.
 
I have a labbed 23 Rev 4. I am told that the rev 4's are a little higher in pitch, must be true, I am running a 23 Mirage+ at 5500 and I can't even get close to that with the rev 4. Maybe 4600.
 
Beautiful Checkmate Josh

Josh You have a Great Looking Checkmate.....Have a Great Summer with Your New Boat and Be Safe......Best Wishes Always Sammie Action Marine
 
BK,

Your new ride looks nearly identical to the one on the top of the Forum page.

Chris may owe you a buck or two for sponsorship. :rof:

Jackplate

If that is a CMC you can just buy the brackets from CMC that will convert it into a 10" plate. Just unbolt the plate from the transom, bolt the brackets on and you have a 10" plate. You don't even have to unbolt the motor from the plate.

That is the way that all of the newer CMC's are made now.
