    Checkmates in Texas??

    Checking in from Arlington. I've got a '92 Persuader 219. She's all Black with red/white pinstipes. 350 Mag/Alpha for power. Named "Black Beauty". We boat on Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie, but also go to Eagle Mountain, Grapevine, and Possum Kingdom occasionally. Been to Lake Texoma and...

    What Checkmate's Are Pulled By...

    Well I guess I just have to post my MFBY Tank. All the trucks will do. I went looking for any of the top three as long as they were diesel. Here's what I found for the right price. 1997 Ford F-250 Heavy Duty SuperCab 4x4 PowerStroke Diesel with 5 speed and 4.10 Positrac gearing. I added the...

    Which are the best boating forums?

    I'm I/O also, but Scream and Fly is a great forum. I often go there and read, Besides, the smaller Checkmates seem to respond to the same tips whether you're clamp-on or fixed rudder. My Favorite is the Speedwake forums. Jeff is very down to earth and a nice guy. I bought some of the Frenzy...

    Got your email Gus. Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed letter. Sounds very much like I was thinking. I'll take photos also in case someone else needs them on the board later. Scott

    Floor repair/replace in Persuader 219 Need advice

    Thanks for your comments Chris. I like the boat a lot! A lone Checkmate in a sea of Bajas here. Don't know if the steering play is in the tiller gearbox or the drive. I've got about 3" to 3.5" of play in the steering wheel that I'd like to lose. Thought about adding Drew Marine's Sidewinder...

    Floor repair/replace in Persuader 219 Need advice

    I've got a nice 1992 Persuader 219 powered by a 350 Magnum/Alpha drive. Here's the situation: The screws that hold the seat pedestal to the floor became loose and stripped. (Too much air time and 2 foot wave running with a 215 lb. driver? Hmmm!) Couldn't get them tightened or out either...

    Fuelie heads

    I'd like to suggest a book for all the IO drivers out there, at least the do-it-yourselfers. Small-Block Chevy Marine Performance by Dennis Moore. Published by HP Books. You can probably get it at the book store or on www.Amazon.com There is also a Big-Block version. Other things to think...

    Where are you from?

    Arlington, Texas. Right in the heart of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex or what they call North Central Texas. There is another Checkmate owner I know of. An older fellow running an older 89 (?) Senator I think with a 350/260 hp IO also. It's cream/red color. I'll have to see if I can...
