Thank You William
Thank You My Dear William. Yes Your New 15 ft Checkmate would Fit Right in with the Great Boats that I Built for My Action Marine Customers. I Wish You were 18 years old back then when Your Dad Bought his Checkmate From Me Instead of you being 2 years Old. I Would of Had You Working for Me and Built You a 100 MPH Checkmate like I did for My other Employees and my Brother Doug. Have a Great Weekend William and Best Wishes Always Your Friend Sammie Action Marine

Thanks John . This has taken alot longer than expected . There is just so much going on Right now im really suprised it made it this far ... I just got home about 20 mins ago and as I walked through the garage on my way in I of course stopped and looked at the boat . I noticed a roll of wire on the floor of the boat so I started looking and my dad had been here running the wires while I was at work . About to go back out after I eat and see what all he did ....
All looks good, did I read sammie was gonna get you too 100 mph!

Paul this thing belonged in the dump lol . I still to this day dont understand why people let things go to crap like they do . The Trimate II I have im the the 3rd owner and it still looks really good for being a 1976 . Than this poor boat the people just beat it to crap ... Ive almost spent twice what this boat cost new When Sammie sold it ... After the motor and a cover are made it will be over twice the original price . Its just crazy how much things have changed .....
