A buddy just sent me a few old pics from the mid 70's to the early 80's. One is my old Checkmate race boat and the other is a buddy of mine in his Stream(I am sure Anthony SS will reconize the Stream). Also if I get time tomorrow I will post some pics of my new project. A hull for either my Stacker or my 135 short shaft not sure which one yet.:) :)

What model Checkmate? It looks like the first fullsize fast boat I ever rode in. Had a inline 150 and did somewhere in the mid 70s. Big brass elephant ear prop and the first foot throttle I'd ever seen. I was 15 and my eyes teared up so bad I could hardly see! I was hooked!

You are right. It is a 1970 MX-14. I ran a 1972 140 short shaft Merc on it.:)
