I may end up bidding on this one as its only 15 mins away. sure looks older than an 80

[cooperider]

Well, if you get it. Unbolt that seat pedistle from the middle of the deck. Please.

[Chris]

I seriously doubt it's a 1980.

It looks like an older v-mate of some kind to me.

Sorta like this one...

Well, if you get it. Unbolt that seat pedistle from the middle of the deck. Please.Actually, I believe this might be a early proto-type Ski-Mate with the optional splashwell observer's seat. :D

[cooperider]

OH wait, I know why thats there. Its an early camera boat, the cameraman sits in that seat to take the action pics for the brochures. He has to be up there to keep the windshield out of the shot. Yeah, yeah, thats the ticket...

I want that grab handle and steering wheel!!!!!!!
Wish there was a boneyard for checkmates somewhere....the gauges would be nice, too
