Looks GREAT! Love the colors. My black '92 Pulse would burn my butt in the summer, but it sure was nice and warm in the spring and fall http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

I love the black as the base color. It looks like nightboat... the crime solving boat (simpsons refrence).

Of course I'm also biased towards starflites. heh. What year merc is that? I've got an '88 XRi 220, and I believe that the XRi 200 is the same motor, just renamed in later years. I'll be curious to see what kind of speeds you get with it in the sping. What kind of prop are you running?

[tbacha]

it's a '92...same as the boat. I don't know what kind of prop...no markings on it, no numbers...I was driving by a marina in Northern Wisconsin last August and saw the boat on the side, pulled in to see if it was for sale, it was't, but I left my business card anyway and told the guy to give it to the owner...you know...if he ever wants to sell...well four months later I got the call, made the deal, now I have to wait untill next spring to check it out...I want to add a transom jack to start...

the city i work for borders the river we have a weekend party called waterfest jetski races, dance bands & beer tents. the city approached me to pull mr/mrs waterfest in the 4th of july parade. i was more than happy to, spent 2 days cleaning & polishing.

Man, that is REALLY cool! The only 'town' involvement I had last summer was the DNR/Sheriff trying to catch me on radar.......

Aww, c'mon! We gotta look at the big guys boobs but can't redeem ourselves by looking at the hotties http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/xxrotflmao.gif

THANKS CHRIS, That 1st pic is one for the ladies, The 2nd one was a lazy day over in canada. That was the only pic I had that showed my bow blanket I designed. It doubles the size of boat. Protects the bow, you can lay out and not have to chase your towels around, burning your butt.

[jrumon]

Merc245.. What a great idea with the custom fitted bow blanket (and that ummm, ummm, "Boat" is Hot also! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif)... I wonder what my wife would say if I got a bow-rider like that????? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Jim.
