What are my Checkmate pals hoping Santa will bring them?

Let's have one fantasy gift...and one realistic one.

Chris

I'll start us off,

My Wish Gift would be a brand spanking new 21' Pulsare. All done up with all the goodies, Red, Black and white....jackplate, 225 on the back etc, etc, C-Hawk Trailer to match. Yeah...that would be good!!

My realistic one is...a nice Leather Checkmate Jacket.... oh yeah realistic.....ok how about a nice Checkmate Sweatshirt or Cap. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

The current sticker says 'recommended' horsepower of 250. This boat is over 20', so it's NOT US Coast Guard regulated. The sticker on my boat is peeled off.

2 sheets 3/4", 5 sheets 1/2" marine grade plywood, resin and assorted cloth to cover it all. Maybe someone to put it all together in a day so I can get back in the water.

What I wish for Christmas... I guess I'll start out with the famous Kinks song.. "Father Christmas, send me some money...."

next, that apparel brochure is sweet, I ordered everything on there for my shop, hoping to have it online and inventoried for Christmas, three items back ordered, six/seven weeks, still not here.. so hopefully my apparel will show before the boat shows start for us in January! Bill, did that jacket happen to be a large? Just kidding you!

A new tow vehicle would be nice.. Santa.. remember.. "Diesels are cool!"

.... that Checkmate would make a limited edition 36' maybe even a 38"... (Hi Kip!) Maybe call it the "Fortress 38" keeping in with the game, staggered twin HP 525's, double inverted hull....

Did I mention a sack full of money, a girl with big.. oh sorry Sue, didn't see you over there..

one thing thats really cool, even though the bays and lakes are frozen here in the midwest, with this board.. Checkmate season never has to end! Thats very cool! Happy Holidays Everyone! Rick

Sorry Rick, it is a medium. And to Checkmate... any plans on a cat in the future as long as we are doing a wish list for boats.

What I would like to wake up and see under the tree this year would be a spanking new 8.1 Vortec. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Or I would settle for an HP500EFI. But in reality, there will probably only be a new pair of pajamas. /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif Damn it sucks being me!!

12-15-2002, 04:30 PM

What you really want is the new HP525 motor. 525 horses normally aspirated. 10 years ago you had to buy the blower SC525 to get that horse!

Big checkmate sticker for the back window of the truck would be awsome. Where can we get them and how much?

Gus,

i'm working the sticker issue right now, I "think" they'll be around 12 bucks,take or give a buck, be available around mid January. Also, a guy on e-bay has them every once in a while also. I just took delivery of my apparel and plan to sell apparel, stickers, and other Checkmate items. Rick

I did that 2 years ago when I bought my black Silverado. I had him make: Allison, Checkmate, Hydrostream, and STV. I put them all up along the bottom of the back window. I was hoping I'd have someone flag me down, but never did. I removed it about a year ago. Cost me $25.
$12 sounds great for a Checkmate sticker /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Remember Fellas,

That logo is "intellectual property" which belongs to Checkmate Boats Inc. People should not be duplicating it, or copying it, especially for the purposes of profitting from it, unless they have permission from Checkmate Boats Inc.

My advice would be to talk with Kip first and perhaps Brilliant Promotions or someone else for that matter, could create an authorized window sticker.

Sorry to sound like a lawyer, but I'm a businessman at heart! And, people using a company's intellectual property for profit without authorization of the owner, isn't cool in my books. /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Having said all that, boy would Yolanda like a nice Checkmate window sticker for the back window of our Z71 Silverado! So if someone does create one that is legit, let me know will ya! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hi Chris,

I'm actually working the stickers through Brilliant Promotions, Checkmates authorized vendor. I wouldn't do anything that caught me up in copyright infridgements, that could cost me lots of money, including my business, sales permit, etc. That'd be ugly! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
