Hey Linn, hope you are well dude. It looks like your project is progressing well..very badass btw!

So, I won't be on the Checkmate forum as much going forward, as I am trading in my 2014 Pulsare 2400 and having a 2016 Hustler Talon built (w/ Merc Racing 565) as we speak. So stoked.

Anyhow, with the Buckeye Lake craziness, I figured I would check in with you to see how boating was on Alum. Nice? A lot of other fast boats out there? I think you mentioned before that you and some of your buddies had some fast boats and were there quite a bit. I know there were some other (Cigarette, Scarab, Eliminator, etc) fast boats on Buckeye Lake that I figured were now going to Alum.

I am actually considering getting a 2nd place at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia(HUGE), but always nice to have a place local to hook up with others if Buckeye is really going to be closed down for a few years.

Anyhow, let me know your thoughts, And send pics as your build out continues mate.

What a Summer so far, eh!

Awesome , have a great time . Be safe ��

I'll be heading down to Cumberland on Thursday.

Hi Jeff , we will be out this weekend . Putting in at Elizabeth Park . Let me know if you want to hook up . 734-272-9569

I have a blue & silver 1980 Entertainer and I'm thinking of putting the checkmate Decals back on this boat. I saw a decal on TTweedy s post that looks stock. Any ideas? Jrockman44@gmail.com . Thanks, James

The rally is at grider hill dock. Lodge rooms are available. Check out the thread for the planned events. My name is Jeff hope you can make it.

I just bought a 1980 Checkmate Entertainer that needs some work. I had a 1987 Webbcraft Cobra that was prefect until it hit a tree. long story. Everything in the Cobra is still great so I started looking for a hull to put the Cobra in and found the Entertainer for a very little amount. I am planning to strip the Entertainer down to the hull and start the build. The engine going in the Entertainer is the Chevy 305 / 200hp which is not the horses that the Entertainer had but that engine has been a solid beast of a motor while in the Cobra. Its going to be a long road ahead but it going to happen. When I learn more about this site i will update the process of the build.

BOAT IS SOLD...........................................................

Hello everyone.
I am new to the site. Just signed up.
This is kind of a test to see if I'm logged in properly.
I'm still trying to learn this system so no pics up yet.
We will be going to the Rally in a few weeks.
Looking forward to meeting some other Checkmate peeps !
I have a 21 Starflight 1986. Baught it brand new off the showroom floor back then. I have tweeked and repowered it many times over the years. Then it collected dust for a few more. In 2004 we did a major restore and repowered with a Merc 2.5 Offshore 280hp.
She still moves out pretty good.
