No wake cruise with Pearl Jam

Awesome vid, thanks for sharing, thats my favorite thing to do on my boat, just cruise with the tunes up, well you have a little more daylight than I usually have but same idea. ;)

That is exactly what I had pictured when I heard that song. Lol

I do not take part in such traditions, but I grew up in the 80's and early 90's with an "open spririted" Family.

Thank You Kurt

You My Dear Friend have a Very Beautiful Checkmate Vision. Have I ever Told You Kurt How Much I Love Checkmate Visions? lol. Enjoy Your Boat My Friend. Best Wishes Always Sammie Action Marine
 
We have maybe a 10 minute no wake ride from the local marina to the lake. On really hot days its not so much fun but I kind of enjoy starting and ending the day listening to the big V-6 2 stroke idling with the relieved midsection on it. :)

That's the Danvers river {it's Crane river on the charts} --- it empties out in Salem Sound next to Glouchester Harbor.
That was not really the scenic part of the river --- I hope to make a couple of more vids soon once I get a secure mount for the camera so I can take a speed run video {the only music in a speed run will be the sound of the engine}-- but I plan on a better quality music boat vid also {any music requests, if I have it in my files I'll put it to video} :bigthumb:

That truely means a lot to me coming from you Sammie my friend...
I've been following this forum for a few years now {although I just became a member this year} ----- I remember when I operated my first Checkmate {it was an Enforcer} on Winnie lake in NH a few years back, I was sooo impressed with the hull performance and the quality of the boat that's when I found this forum and started reading about all things Checkmate --- well that was around the time you were noted as having your Vision past 130mph {yes for all you new guys to the forum, Sammie had a 22ft Vision running an incredible 130+ -- that is just amazing {I believe it was 131.6 mph} --- WOW, I knew I needed to try one of these Visions.
I've since operated a few Checkmates owned by friends and have been hooked since the very first time I drove one.
Most of my friends couldn't understand why I went from a 30 ft Scorpion to a 22 ft Vision, --- I simply wanted a good quality / classic old school style / easy to handle / trailerable / performance boat.
As you know Sammie, the Vision is all that.
Now all my friends {even the ones with the big Convincors and ZT's} say out of all the boats they've seen me own {and I have had a few} this Vision is absolutly the one that fits my personality the most.
I love my Vision {but I havn't ruled out taking out a second mortgage on my house to purchase a Punisher} ;).

Earlier this season I stayed the night out rafted with my Canaidan friends. Set the phone alarm for 4:00 am, had to be at work by 7:00 am. When I popped out of the crawl my friend was up enjoying a water.
Well the next weekend I was told he could hear my 245 singing all the way till I'd shut it down at the ramp. Thats 2+ miles down and around a 2+ mile wide island and back up 2 miles, about a 15 minute run.:thumb:

I'm guessing you were on time for work too :surf:
 
That's why I love boating. Even though I'm done for the summer. I still think it's the most relaxing thing to do. So I need a motor, It would stop me from doing what I love. Agree people?
