was wondering when i would see something from you viper1. What this post should be about is people who OWN or BUILT a 100MPH boat!!! Who gives a rat a@@ if some one saw one!!!! I can see one every time I turn on power boat racing on TV. Every one sounds like a bunch of high school kids who read a book about fast boats then think they know it all. Put up or Shut up. Of all the threads here there is only one guy who built drove and can prove 100MPH in his own boat. couple of his own boats actually. there ore pics some place on this site that has them and his history. SO IF I MAY BOW AT HIS FEET thank you very much, Viper1!!!! I have to say I just got into the checkmate scene a year ago. and love it very much have met a few other check owners on the river lake etc. and have a great time comparing notes. But Viper1 is by far the nicest most knowledgeable and kindest of them all. thanks for all your help!!!!!!! And he is a builder, driver and racer/winner of 100MPH checks and then some.
It's great to hear of his accomplishments but to say no one else has built their own is not accurate. My boat was ordered by me as a blank. No engine or drive. In fact no cutout for a drive or transom assembly. We built the engine and did all the rigging.
