Old Skewl Kool!

just noticed your post. you are bout 30 minutes away from me. do you and your dad ever run lake murray? nice rig by the way. some good pointers on getting speed with a small hull.


Brian,
We don't make it up to Murray much. I use to live on it in 96' when I worked in W.Cola. If you ever need any help just give me a shout at the office. 803-897-3806 We'll tell ya everything we know!!!!

Mike, any video of your dad from this weekend? Congradulations, not bad for a 30+ yr Checkmate!

Shandon (six four) has some video he's putting together. He said he should have it ready soon.
I think he got Dad's "mate" and maybe my Q-master. He can tell us for sure.
 
If you add Dad's age (62) his motors age (21) and his boats age (32) you get 115 yrs.!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't checked back in here in a while just thought I'd let ya'll know this boat is up for sale now minus the motor.. asking 3K for the boat, trailer, seat, merc wiring and gauges. We finished up running the boat the past 2 seasons with a 260 on it..handles the 260 like a dream. Moving the 260 and Dad to a 1/4 master like mine. Boat still looks like it did in the pics posted!!!!

Thanks,
Michael
