Under the 'episodes' tab, the checkmate tour is under the '5 minutes with' tab on the next page.

That was a good interview.

[cooperider]

I like the part about training each others employees.

Anybody else notice the changes back and forth referring to " us " and " them " - not ready to let go of the Baja years ????

you should have seen the factory doug had built up befor all mighty brunswick took it over. know they build sea ray boats at that factory also prob more sea rays than bajas. it was state of the art. also big and very clean.

They can keep my boat...I want her!!!:devil:

Coop thanks for the Checkmate news update!

So I had to watch the Baja episode while I was there just because. Would you really want to show the use of a chopper gun in your interview about the quality of boats that you build? And is "scrimp" really a good word?

SCRIMP is a licenced building method, and does not use the chopper gun. That was really NOT the place to insert a clip of them using the chopper gun.


I just shook my head when I saw that one. :rolleyes:

Good interview. I would have liked to see the inside of the factory a bit more. But what can you do in 5 min.:D

I don't know, he did allright with that...back then it was "them" for him, now its "us" for him. I would have had a hard time concentrating on the fine points too, standing next her. Very smart wearing those sunglasses, don't want to get caught on camera with wandering eyes!!!!
