Pictures of 1977 v-mate

[Paul Charette]

I've just picked up a "77" v-mate in real good shape. I'm having a hard time finding any good pictures of an origional boat. Any ideas where I can find any. Please send to: paulcharette@verizon.net

check forum "showroom" you will find 76 and 78 brochures...there probably the same model...

Look in "Picture This". Page 2 has "Chucker's V-Mate II" and Page 4 has "My "New" V-Mate II"

The biggest differences I see in V-Mates is the interiors. Mine has the lounge seats along the sides and a ski pole in the middle. A curtain hangs in front of the fuel tank. Chucker's (and most 77-78 models I've seen) has a bench seat across the back. I have also seen a 77 or so with the lounge seats like mine and a small bench between them across the back with no ski pole.

I'm not sure what options were available in what year, but all of these appear to be factory setups.

What do you have?
