those are two great boats man!
My boat cant do that http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/Eyecrazy.gif

[Adam L.]

Great looking boats. Love the playmate. Awesome pic of the yellow mate.

My predictor can do that Boston. Your new ride can definately do it, because I have done it in it.

Your not bouncing it good until you get water coming over the transom getting you wet!

Great shots! You need to put the yellow boat holeshot in the running for January boat of the month!

CHECKI THATS GREAT. GIVE US SOME STATS ON THESE FINE BOATS HERE.

[checki]

Thanks Chris,for adding the pics.
Thanks guys

The first pic is a friend of mine with my old Enticer,
150 hp opti,gear 1,87:1 and a 23p Laser 2.This combo has the best hole shot in my area.
All Enticer and Predictor guys,you must test a tempest. It is mutch more fun at the turn and the max. speed is the same.
I hope, Chris put one of my starflite pics in the running for January.
JW,I am of the search to an online hosting web site.

[Boston Predictor]

great starliner my friend...what are some of the specs?

[checki]

It is a starflite with 24" transom.I have cut the bow open.
The specs are under STARFLITE TOP SPEEDS
(PROPS;SETUPS AND RIGGING)

w.f.g. Hubert from Germany

[jmahler]

You cut the bow yourself? That boat looks great as a bow rider. That looks like all the work paid off. Great job!

[wickedrister]

That is one smooth looking boat. You did a Fantastic job on your Enticer but this is way wilder than the last. Hope to see this one in the running for Boat of the month. I really like the custom old school logo as well. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif

[wickedrister]

Checki, how fast did your Enticer run with the 150 ??

[checki]

Thanks guys
My Enticer run near 65 mph (gps) on a good day. The motor is 6" bellow the pad and chine walk is a big problem.I hope my buddy spent the money, and we can test a jackplate in the spring.
High jmahler, I cut the bow by myself
and all the work has be worth it. It run perfect and we have room for the family. The bow is 6,5 feet long.

Very, very nice! I see you made the bow area even bigger than a Starliner. I like what you did with the bow walk-thru. It has a cleaner look than even a factory original.

Checki, I need to hire you to come out to NC and cut open my bow. What a great job! That boat looks better than some pulsares. Do you have any pics of the job in progress?

Where do you find used Checkmates in Germany? Are there some around or do you have to find them and ship them from the US?

[checki]

High
I have to be found the Enticer and the Playmate at
the german second-hand market. Checkmate are rare boats here.
The Starflite came on a trailer by ship, from Jacksonville.

[jmahler]

Sweet http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I really love the boat. A one of a kind. Beautiful job.

[Mooneys]

Love it, and until I realized he was in Germany I was woondering why you didn't just buy the Starliner. Awesome boat, love the color!

I have my eye on a Convincor project and I want to open the bow on an old school Convincor like your Starflite. Gives me some motivation :-)

Did you cut the windshield or make a new one? I want to make a low windshield for my Starliner since I can't find one. I hate the high windshield.

Again, NICE BOAT!

[Mooneys]

One question...

How do you like the Honda 225 over the Johnson 225 you use to have on the boat?

[checki]

Hallo Mooneys
A lot of questions. I hope my english is not to bad.
I have search a Starflite or Starliner for three years. This Starflite in 2003 was the first good deal. She came with out motor.
A 4-stroke is better for my area. We have a lot of small lakes here and the most of time you must drive slowly. The gas-price here (1 gal = over 5 US Dollar) is very expensive. I run 100 hours with the Honda in 2005 and put 150 gal gas in the tank!!!
I cut the windshield in the middle and take a standart alu-U for the right- and the left side.
You can cut your windshield to,but you must change the glass and the alu-U top frame. The old alu-U parts are to short.
The Convincor-project is a dream for me. A long open bow and a small porta potti-room for the woman on the left side.

Thanks for all your compliments

Hi all
I have finished my 13 GT and have a lot of fun with it.
80hp Yammi, 5 inch setback and the propshaft is 3,25 inch below the pad. It run 52mph with 20p lightspeed (laser 2), 5500 rpm and I have no problem with shinewalk.
