CHECKMATE OWNERS RALLY 2015

If you are talking about the fastest Checkmate I would say Slingblade with his 260 . The Punisher did mot make the trip and with all the massive amounts of debris , it was tough to run hard long. Not sure if the 100 mph Redcheckmate madecthe trip.
 
I didn't catch up with redcheckmate on the water but I did talk to him at the ramp. When we left Monday I saw his truck with a empty trailer hitched to it in the parking lot.

No doubt in my mind that REDCHECKMATE would have taken that award, he has been in the triple digits for quite some time but the bad debris kept him away and also kept anybody from doing any hard running.

And even though its not a Checkmate, don't forget about Nick's Superboat. As fruity as he is, its still a fast sumbitch!!!

The Nordic does 89mph, but i drove my Checkmate 2 of the 3 days its a fireball with that Slingblade power in it! We had a blast! I run out of prop & hull before i run outta power. In perfect conditions with my helmet and life jacket on I will do a speed run in the 242 later this year.

Most dissapointed I didnt get to say hey to Fletch, see ya all next year.
 
I would have to say Rob's Nordic is the best looking one that I've ever seen. Really nice boat. I wish there wasn't so much debris. Would've liked to stretch the legs out on mine. I will say the new hydraulic steering did help me carve through the debris like a 20 footer! Can't wait till next year!

Sorry for the delay, but I have uploaded and narrated a few of the good photos we took. I have a few more, from the lunch, a few of some of the boats around Grider and a couple waterski videos, but those will have to be done another day. Take a look:

I bet not too many people were going all that fast out there that weekend. Lots of debris.
 
Great pictures and narration Matt. We all knew with your GoPro there had to be some good shots.
