    1971 Checkmate MX15 restore

    We actually just put a new stern in the boat this summer so it's still getting worked on. To do this we also pulled the top off and did some glassing under the deck for reinforcement. Now it's completely ready to spray whenever I have time.

    Been a while since i posted any updates but here's a picture of the floor finished. I also glassed some mounts into the floor for the pedestals to sit on. Have everything mounted for mockup, so now i just need to take it all back apart and sand it so i can shoot it with primer. Have black...

    Thanks for the comments, I've been pretty busy lately and am finally almost finished with school, so I'll be on break for the summer.

    1971 Checkmate MX15 restore

    Well i started buying a few things today to figure out which holes need to be filled while im doing the fiberglass work, and what new holes need to be drilled. My plan is to pretty much get the whole boat put together so no new holes will have to be drilled after paint. I'm not for sure what...

    Hopefully a year or two down the road i can find a 4 cylinder yamaha to put on there. I already have the 90 and i'm planning on painting it black and getting a custom set of VMAX decals made for it so it matches the boat a better and adds a little custom touch.

    1971 Checkmate MX15 restore

    Well the trailer is almost finished, the only thing left to do to it now is put on the bunks, replace the rollers, and put on a set of diamond plate fenders. We decided not to paint the trailer and are instead doing some black and red striping to accent the boat. As soon as the trailer is...

    Heres the trailer getting worked on. Both cross members were rusty and it needed a new axle. We're planning on getting a primer type coating for the galvanized and spraying it red.
