Anyone know the status of this boat? Really wanted to see pics in the water this year

Glad to see you making progress again! Boat looks great! It sure would be cool to get my 2800, your 2800 and Max's (2tonchevy) 2800 together for a photo shoot!!! My next phase for my 2800 will be building some potent 2.5L powerheads over the winter..

Thanks to Chuck for offering me the passenger seat last weekend for the NJPBC's Toms River to AC poker run.
Hammer Down!

It was also cool we were mentioned in Poker Runs America and had a picture posted on the link below

The rough seas had us in the air more than the water

Very nice, great job flying the Checkmate colors.
Noticed you tricked them into thinking your 2800 was 10 feet longer.

Must be that sick paint and killer driving. Those pictures of the boat in the air are some of the best Checkmate shots ever posted. The other great ones like that are of the 43 Punisher doing the same thing, so you’re in good company.

The crazy part about the pictures is that they were only a snap shot of time over a few minutes during the 30min run. It got even more hairy at times flying out over the water covering a distance of 50-100ft off the bigger swells before touching down again. The adrenaline was in overload and after 20 min of crazy seat time it felt almost normal.

Knarloid (Irish Kris as I refer to him as) gave me the support and confidence to push the limits even as he was nearing the back seat due to bolster seat screw loss

In some of the shots you can see him holding on to my bolster for extra support. I at least had the steering wheel

This Checkmate is truly a work of performance in action that started with the the original and re crafted first by Bravo 1 and several other members on this site to make it the best it could be

One of those bucket list items I can chisel off
