    Trim I'm learning ... tonight the water was amazing. I was out with a buddy - he's got a 25' Outlaw - nice boat. We ran to Power Island for a bit, and on the way out, it got more choppy. I found (for the first time) that if I trimmed it just right, I could sail through the waves no problem...

    I always put in at Elmwood. That is THE best launch I've ever been to. I should look in to a season pass next year.

    I was out on West Bay yesterday evening with my two little ones - there was a red, newer Checkmate putting in at the same time we were. I'm guessing it was 24-27'. Really nice boat. Anyone know if this person is on this forum?

    Hey, wow - thanks for all of the "welcomes!" I'm in Traverse City, Michigan. Back to the boat ... after reading some of the responses, I measured the boat ... it's 19 1/2 ft with a 7.5 beam. I'll get some pictures of it on photobucket this weekend. I LOVE this boat. I grew up boating all of...

    Good morning, I just bought an '89 18' Checkmate. Completely redone, exterior, interior, and engine (bored out 350 now 355). Problem is, I have NO IDEA what model the boat is. I'll post some pics - maybe someone can help?!
