Who's got the oldest Checkmate ?

[youwont56]

So I was wondering who's has the oldest Checkmate here or what's is the oldest Checkmate you know someone has.


I have a 1971 mx-15.

The picture is from the day I picked it up. I'm in the middle of restoring it right now.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You know you love your boat Paul. Better not talk about her that way.

And I always thought it went " Beauty is in the eye of the Beer Holder" I guess I am wrong again. Hope all is well Paul. Hows the hot rod coming along ?

sunny here and cold.takes longer to load the boat and get to the landing than it takes to drive out to the flats and dig a bucket of clams.got a few crushed ones... good to shuck and use for fried clams
