Hi Sammy. Good to hear from you. I know you have meet a lot of people over the years, but to jog your memory, here's a few pics. See if you remember the Checkmate and me.
Meeting at Kmart for Detroit River run. That Sunday, you wanted to pull 4-5 skiers with an 80HP Checkmate for a boat show video.
Might not remember me, but maybe the van!
And the 1974 fuchsia MX15.

Sam, I was a friend of Karl F in late 70's when he had Checkmates up on Stag Island, I am looking to relive those times and searching for a 70's Checkmate hopefully in really good shape can you assist? Gary 810-357-811one.

Hi Sam,

With a short shaft on an MX-15 did you have low water pickup lower units?

Hi Gary yes in the latter years. They did Not make the boat go any faster on the MX-15's

Good to know thanks for the reply. I am trying to re-live some checkmate history!!

Do you have any sources for mx-15 parts like hardware such as trim tabs and other parts as well as interior seating etc? I want to do a restoration as close to the real mx-15 as possible.
