    I have finally found one that is not 1000 miles away from me, I am driving down tomorrow to go over the boat. Are there any known major issues ? I already have it in my head that I will have to replace the flooring and I will be looking at the transom very closely. The seller has been...

    ****Very frustrating Craigslist experience****

    Just to nitpick, but it would be the secret service, not the dept of treasury directly, (though the SS is part of the Tresury, in reality its its own beast) that would be interested. FINCEN would be notified of something that large, but honestly, they are just going to look at it as someone...

    Thanks for the reply, I think you are correct, after doing some research now that I had a hint, the whole Sidewinder sage is interesting, certainly a different time in the boating world.

    Mystery Boat ID

    No he doesn't, according to the title it's a 1970, so no HIN on the transom. I'm thinking i'm going to grab it anyways, for what he wants for it it can serve as a good practice boat for a Checkmate.

    Mystery Boat ID

    So while I am recovering, I am spending some of my time searching around the net for a boat, as it looks like I will be doing nothing for the next 3 months I figure that maybe a fixer upper might be the right way to go. Anyways, I came across this boat, the price is right, the guy will drop it...

    Thanks Merc, i'm not going to turn this into a poor me thread, but damn it this sucks, I highly advice everyone not to have a heart attack, coughing and sneezing are right up there with having a limb amputated. Anyways, question on the video "afternoon delight", what type of speed were you...

    Las Vegas

    So last Monday I joined here, Tuesday was a normal day, Wednesday while outside with the dog I started getting a pain in my chest, heart burn I thought, but then my left arm went numb, a quick 911 call and a 10 minute drive in an ambulance had me at my local hospital, where they quickly figured...

    Thank you all for the welcome, with our work schedules the majority of our boating time will be mid week, meaning little to no other boats around, Lake Mead is also so darn big in the lower basin that you can find clean water pretty easily. I learn to sail in the English channel, trust me...

    Las Vegas

    Early in the day it's normally flat, in the late afternoons we get 2-3 waves, on rare days it can get nasty out there, but with the mountains around the lake there are normally ways to thread back to the dock. If the weather reports are showing high winds then we can just head to the river...

    Hi everyone. Well I decided it's time to get back into the boating world, after looking around at all the new boats there was nothing that caught my attention, however, in looking at older boats the Hydrostreams and Checkmates really touched something in me. After doing some research I decided...
