    1995 Checkmate Brochure

    I'm afraid the full answer to that question, would be a really long post. :) The short answer is that it was really just a fluke of sorts. Basically, before I started the Checkmate site, I had been involved with some other message boards in varying roles. So I was fairly familiar with how...

    New checkmate site??

    Well, I don't know Doc at all. I don't think he's a member of either of my sites. I just know him from seeing him posting on OSO and getting beaten up on some other sites. Who knows? Maybe he'll join up here at some point. :) I think what's currently happening with Doc, is that some have...

    New checkmate site??

    Actually, in real life, Jayme's alright. His heart is in the right place most of the time. I think he just likes to stir the pot a bit, get things moving and have some fun on the boards. I don't think he takes things as seriously as it looks like he does. I know for the most part, when he...

    1995 Checkmate Brochure

    Ah yes the Deckmate. Just before DS took over, Mate were looking at building another performance deck boat. I remember JW was all excited about it! I'll dig around and see if I've got some brochure pics of the Deckmate. If I find some, I'll upload them to the gallery and post them...

    Newbie needs advice

    Welcome aboard Cheftaz. :) Thanks for joining up, nice to have you here. :thumb: There are pros and cons to both I/O's and outboards. Do you like to waterski as well? Do you like to do your own maintenance? Do you like to boat early or late in the season in cold weather climates? -Chris

    New checkmate site??

    Well for me, I'm not going to lie, I've had some fun and participated to some degree over the years, with the whole Baja-Checkmate rivalry. But I can also honestly say I've never taken it all too seriously either. The bottom line for me, is that I spend more time in my Tin boat than my Check...

    how to check timing

    I believe it depends on what series of ignition system you have. If I'm not mistaken, some of the powerpacks have limited on-board diagnostics and can control the timing advance to some degree as well. And there is also special procedures if you have the quick start feature. Years ago, you...
