If I decide to get something bigger I'll let you know, but it will be hard to let her go. I've had it for such a long time and put a lot into it!

Thanks, First hand knowledge there guys. LOL.

Keith, you going to the boat races at Kent Narrows this week end? I'm thinking about it. I'm gonna try to post something on the event page in a few minutes if I can find their home page. I know it's a little late to let everyone know but my computer and internet has been on the fritz.

Don't think I'll be there . Have birthday parties this weekend. I know I'll be out the first and secound week in Sept. Looks like there's going to be a mini BumperBash Sept. 11 at Hart Miller Island to honor the day.

Sounds nice! Hope you get a chance to post some video of it on the water.

Great video! I forgot how much I liked listening to a big block jet boat take off. My stern drive takes a bit longer to wind up.

Thanks Shaun B.,

So what kind of boat do you have? The Folks on this forum love Pics and videos. You may want to check out the Main Menu Upper left corner, Click forum, Then maybe a short post about yourself and boat in "Member Introductions" and then some pics or videos of your ride. There are categories for pictures, videos, or you can use the introduction section. We don't even care if it is not a Checkmate.

I've got a '77 Donzi Ski Sporter (Sweet 16) with a Chevy ZZ4 350 and Volvo 270 outdrive. I'll put some pics and video links in the member intro section. I grew up driving a '73 Jetmate with a 455 Olds and Jacuzzi YJ pump. My father's in the process of restoring it now. It looks very similar to yours, without the red accents. Seeing it brings back lots of good memories.
