1976 Trimate II, Clone of Gus's boat.

[cooperider]

This is another eBay boat I bought. Lots of good parts on here, most are spoken for, but I thought I would share pics of this all original unrestored, classic.

Parts are spoken for? Aren't you going to restore it...come on its a cool looking boat...motor is probably not too bad either... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I might know where there's a marketplace for the steering wheel! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I love those old rigs. I wish I had the time, money and expertise to fix 'em up too. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[cooperider]

I was gonna put the stearing on the '66 V141 along with those trimtabs, they do say Checkmate on them.

WOW, they are (where) twins. I have a brown interior that would go right in. Covers are in great shape, the wood is not.
What are the plans for the boat??

[cooperider]

The plans for this boat are:

I am going to part it out.

[cooperider]

I was thinking that also, I will keep it in mind. It all depends on what I do with the V141, whether I restore it or sell it.

If you need one and coop keeps his, I can get you one. I have a few laying around.

Reed,
I may be interested. What condition is it in and what are you asking? Do you have any pics?

I finally got this one home today. I stashed it at a buddy of mines place for the winter. Gave him the task of stipping all the stuff off it. He just brought it down today with all those parts laying inside the boat, even the motor. Now I have a couple of days sorting all the stuff to see what I want to keep, and what I want to sell and what gets pitched.

Coop, I have a set of the factory trim-tabs like you have on the Clone, I was thinking of installing them on my boat to help with the ( Chine walk ) gow do I go about measureing and installing them correctly?? also I'm intertaining idea's for a name for my 79 trimate 200 hp boat Reed
