Very cool, love the old jets. Those black seats are going to be murder on the back sides.

Hands down to me that was one of the baddest looking Checkmate hulls. And the scoop they used is the best I have ever seen on a Checkmate. And if that's the original color I think that's the best looking Checkmate I have seen. But just one thing the windshield is different maybe they used 2 different ones but mine had a lower 1 piece

Yes, I see two different windshields. Mine is a '72. Your Mate is SWEET! The paint is original. Was in the garage for 35 years only ran in 1972. Started right up last year! It was amazing. My neighbor is buffing and waxing and putting in new carpet. He's an auto body guy and knows what he's doing..... Would you happen to know if a ski pole could be put in the boat? My son wakeboards. Our friend's boat he now boards off of has a ski bar so he is able to get big air. I don't think the mate will give him the same airtime. The ropes will have to be hooked to the transom which is a lot lower than the ski bar. Ant suggestions? THANKS.

I seen some jet boats run a ski pole mounted to the engine. But you would have to remove the engine hatch. Or I think a fab shop can custom make you one without any problem here is my idea on the pick of your boat.

Great idea Big Red.Thanks! My son will be so happy. Water pic's to follow this weekend......

I noticed your boat trailer has the old school black rollers. I would change them to the newer clear ones or your going to get black streaks all over the bottom and bow. Mr clean magic eraser will remove the black streaks with ease.
