    New Factory Mooring Cover pics

    Old Checkmate Molds

    Coop, was the 27 footer the only size checkmate built a MCOB model? seems to me these would be pretty desirable. I know a lot of the west coast builders offer them and you see them all over havasu. I also know sunsation builds them too. how many did checkmate do and do you have any idea where...

    To Tab or not to Tab, That is the question.

    Kip Combs is welcome to come out with me on my persuader any time he wants. I will let him drive and he can show me how to trim my boat correctly to get through the water and stop the porpoising. sooner or later the drive wont move any farther with the trim switch and he will be reaching for the...

    I am so happy I must post

    I decided on the insta-trim after I had long conversations with the people from insta-trim and bennett about their products. I am a hydraulics guy by trade so was curious about pumps etc. I was very impressed with the people from insta-trim and equally unimpressed with the folks at bennett. I...
