    STL Checkmate Get Together Part II

    I had Gateway Powder Coating do mine, they are in St Peters Missouri. Really any powder coating place can do it, but I needed someone that had a big enough oven to fit the 17 foot side rails on my boat. All together I think I spent maybe 500 on powder coating. That included the trim tabs, gas...

    STL Checkmate Get Together Part II

    Still not done, big snafu was made on my back wrap-around seat. He has to redo it, he started yesterday on it, suppose to be done today or wed. Man I miss my boat. :mad: I will post pictures as soon as I get it back. Hoping to have it out on the water this weekend.

    Do you guys have pictures of your engines, I think I would want to do something like that, but I don't think I have the room with engine hatch so close to top of my engine. Jason

    Any suggestions on getting mine into the low 70's? I'm a small block ford guy, so these 454 big blocks are new to me. :) Plus it looks like the boat wont be done, found some rotten wood on the some of the seat framing, I'm having them replace any damaged wood. So it might be another week. :(...

    Rain really never stops me, but since I will have new interior, I might be little cautious about it. All my other boats had bimini's but the checkmate doesn't. I usually look at the radar the morning of boating to decide whether or not to go, but I never really worry about the forecast. I...

    Yeah, I know winter should have been the time to do my upholstery restore, but money wasn't available then. Plus I thought he would be done with it sooner but he ran into some health issues in the middle of doing mine, so I had to wait. But I stopped by last Friday and he said he would have it...
