Finally got rid of the Checkmate and got a family boat, the kids are loving it, we ordered it July 4th and it finally came Tuesday, so far I've seen 50.6 mph GPS, not bad for a wash tub! We also got the extended warranty so we are covered for 7 full years! Nice peace of mind.

Well now that the cabin is shut down for the winter all that's left is the memories, it was a great year but like always too short... The year started out with a nervous few weeks waiting for the ice to melt off shore at Dads place, a big wind brought the ice on shore as it was breaking up...

But summer forgot us this year, good thing I got vids to get me through, some plus temps outside sure would be nice. Here's one heading for lunch last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4IyEMocCzs One from my buddy's Hydrostream of us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZyEYXrsdJQ...

I have been doing lots of quading with my son since we put the boats away in the fall and I think he's taken a liking to the snow, haha We went on a 3 mile ride the other day and he did real good considering it was -10 C, I need to figure out how to install some hand warmers for him, the...

I went and fired up the merc on a hose yesterday and she took right off after sitting for almost 7 months, no fast idle, just hit the key a few times and away it went. Yqp4R4jZ63Y Then today I took the kids down to the river and had some fun, I thought it was going to be just me and the...

I am redoing the interior in my 89' Checkmate Eluder and thought I'd post up a few pics, I ordered new vinyl covers from Checkmate back in October and finally got them last week, I have got quite a bit done already but it is turning out to be lots of work. The old stuff wasn't too bad but was...

Took the kids tobagganing today, what a blast, they love it, here is a video and a few pics, have to do something fun in the off season, I can't wait for boating season but this is pretty fun too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jamdm6TPFkM It was a great day:D

This was my Christmas present to myself, a R/C Traxxas Spartan, I've never had a R/C boat before, it was kind of an impulse purcase, I can't wait to try it out, here is a few video's I found of it, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLT8qLaD8W8&feature=related...

It's that time of year when the boats are put away and all we have until next year are the memories, let's see some pics enjoying our boats. I'll start, here's one of the first ride of the year, ice in the background. The kids fighting for the wheel:) Son's first sea doo ride...

Here's a short video of my 89' Checkmate with a 220 EFI merc running this past weekend, it was probably the last ride of the year, enjoy. http://s899.photobucket.com/albums/ac199/johnlamon/?action=view&current=fall030.mp4&newest=1...

Made it out today, it sure was fun, aside from the ice chucks floating around.

We bought this new in july. 08, exciting day pulling up to the cabin with it, we didn't tell any of the family we bought it so everyone was surprised.

Chris, since we were talking about playing with trim on our aluminum boats the other day I came up with a funny idea;) lets see who can throw the best rooster tail with a tin boat, to be honest I don't even know if it's possible, it's been a while since I played with it, I would like to use it...

Here are some pics of the 78 avenger w/200 3.0 venom, manual j/p, sea star pro steering, 26 pitch raker prop, 82 mph. I am looking for another one of these boats, if anyone has any info that would be great, also if you have one of these and need info on the setup I would be glad to help.
