    I know Checkmates fairly well.
    Live 45 mins from the old factory and been there many times

    On my 3rd one, a twin OB 25’ Convincor.

    Sold this 21’ Starliner a couple yrs back.
    Yes, a huge mistake 😉

    which helps too.. hoping for 75, lol...

    I had several old boats as I remember. A Marchetti hydro and a Sidson hydro. One had a KG7 Merc and
    the other had a Merc 55H. Sidson really did well with the 55H.

    Man there’s two names I’d forgotten.

    Very cool history.

    Old Sidson with the Merc 55H ran easily in the mid 70's. I got thrown out of it once
    when I hit a cruiser wake.

    What does this rig do? I've got a '02 18'7" Pulsare bowrider with a '00Johnson 225 H.O. that says 82 on the dream meter downhill in cold weather up here! Has a 26" Raker/CLE lower unit with 5" setback on a CMC hydraulic lift!

    Motor was a hybrid that I built and never quite got a handle on it.

    Ive owned and sold a bunch of boats in my life but that’s the one I should have kept.

    21’ Starliner.
    Very rate Checkmate.

    That motor still sits in the corner of my shop and mocks me every time I walk past it.

    Angry The old days but on grass w/a mod Ski=Doo!https://www.screamandfly.com/images/smilies

    Reminds me of the " plumbing" that I used to have on my 650 MOD Grass Drag Ski-Doo in 1974.

    I would post a pic but my ex has most that stuff. Sorry!
