" For Sale" YOU GOT A HEMI

[Jetmate]

well I can say this, back in the mid 70's, when I was young and no so smart, living in No. Va. street racing on 295 in DC was a all out affair, ran open headers, slicks, pretty much anything went. I was driving a 66 falcon with a 427 medium riser, stroked to 448 ci tunnel port intake w/660's top loader and 5.43 detroit locker, there were a few cobra jet torino's and mustangs, 2 hemi cuda's, 1 4sp, 1 auto, the auto car belonged to a family with unlimited funds after getting his ass handed to him no less than three times by 3 different big block camaro's, sent the car to sox and martin, spent big $$ and months later, came back all bad ass talking...so set up big race with a 69 camaro(freind of mine) had a crate 427 L88, muncie, a 5.13 gear, both left together..camaro dusted him off again....so from all what I saw personally the big block chevys ruled there, no question...I could not beat them, neither hemi cars did either..it was a pretty wild time....we even made the newspaper in 1974, as the cops were even using copters to chase us down. But anyway from what I have experianced all those are great engines, but $ for $ you cannot beat the performance from a big block chevy....seems the marine industry feels the same way...

Oh for the good old days,,, I used to street race the other end of 295, towards Baltimore, where the exit to BWI is. Had a 63 Corvette for a while along with various other Muscle machines, Road Runner, T/A's, Mustang, 67 Vette coupe. They don't make 'em like they use to,

And yes you are correct Carver it happened by mistake in a way. But theirs something I liked about standing straight up in the cabin. 2 beds table sink stove fridge counters full bathroom that my wife loves. And it can carry a bunch of beer at once. It has a total of 3 sinks WTF

My buddy has a montigo mid cabin with twin (3.7?) 4 bangers in it. Great drinking boat while sitting in the marina. Its just 180* from a checkmate! Do you plan on getting another checkmate in the future?

If I buy another Checkmate it will be a 300 or if I go small it will be a O/B Checkmate.

I could not pass up the deal after the weather breaks I will wash it up and post the deal on here. Lets just say it was a win win situation and the thing I like best is it will ride good in the chop on my lake.

I have owned runabouts, ski boats, jetboats, deep v speed boats, so I thought lets try this thing out.
