Going through some images that I'm posting on our Instagram account and I always liked this shoot a lot. You may remember WILDMAN Randy Corson's Checkmate that was on the cover of SportBoat magazine. That location (Sanford, FL) was just perfect for a photo shoot.

That seems so long ago. That boat used to hang the nose!

I think it was around 80 or so? Randy will know of course. I just remember being in the chase boat :D

That was a 300xs with a 250 cowl. Mercury wanted a "250xs" shot. That boat ran 78. It was a 24 Pulsare. I've had a 21 Pulsare up to 98.4

Man that is hauling the mail in a Checkmate for sure - don't think I ever seen one come close to those numbers. Well done sir.

It's all in the setup
That yellow boat was my favorite.

Randy, what would you say is the most important part of setup for getting the bow to fly like that on a checkmate?
