    1992 checkmate pulse 171

    I recognize that boat ;-) My first 'Mate. Sure was a LOT of fun. I remember it sitting in the back room of Prindle Marine in Lawton Michigan from December '91 until we could pick it up and bring it home in the spring of '92. Seemed like forever! That's the boat in my thumbnail

    Even More CL Finds!

    VERY interesting. I’m liking that original 81 Eluder, that’s the year I graduated HS. Not the best engine, but at this point all I care about is the sound and the show. Wonder if I could talk the ‘ol lady into a third boat…

    RIP Bill Combs

    Glad to have met Bill and both sons during visits to the factory. And of course SCT when we finally met in person on a trip to Bucyrus.

    My Rig

    I have an AWD model Y on order with the tow package. Probably won’t take it when it’s built in February though, I was hoping to get the $10,000 tax incentive then flip the Y for a profit. I don’t think it’ll happen.

    RIP RNGRDVE

    Terrible news, condolences to his family. Dave was one of the best for sure. We never met personally but had many nice private conversations thanks to this site. He’ll be sorely missed!

    New Engine - 300r or Pro XS?

Checkmates also typically need bowlift which a regular gear case is better at. Only in rare cases does a Mate benefit from a sporty. 300 hp puts...
