My wife of 22 years did a 180 with our boat. Its been 3 years since I resurected an '85 Checkmate Eluder. At first she hated the project seeing all the time money and beers that it took to make it happen. Any mention of boat was met with eye rolls. We both love to fish and once she got out on the water and pulled in a few big ones it was game on. Now on Saturday mornings before dawn I'm being woke up to get things ready to go out
