The Member's Rides Thread!

[Chris]

Alrighty Gang,

This is our never ending Member's Rides Thread!

This is the place to show the community your best pic or two of your rig or rigs!

On Endless Boating it's a "run what cha brung" affair, so let's see what cha got! Big, small, fast or slow it doesn't matter. If it floats then it's all good here!

So let's see your favourite pics of your floating rigs.

Perhaps you could be kind enough to give us a brief description of what you're showing us, and even a bit of story to boot if you like.

If you need help posting pics, try [thread=70]this thread![/thread]

Chris' '92 Checkmate Pulse

Alright, I'll kick this off I suppose.

Here is my 1992 Checkmate 170 Pulse B/R. It's powered by a 1991 Merc 150 XR4.

Runs around 60ish in ideal conditions.

First one is at the launch ramp on our lake.

Second is with it launched.

[Chris E]

this is my baby - 79 Checkmate Predictor undergoing a full restoration (if i ever get the time that is):

This is the other boat - at least it runs -1986 Sea Ray Seville:

And this one i get to play with every now and then - 2006 grew challanger w/2008 250ss suzuki:

I like the dock and the flowers give it a nice touch.

 

[Chris E]

yeah, the flower boxes don't look bad - a lot of flood damage this spring though - i got the one pier fixed but the side you see there still needs some love.

 

[Chris]

Thanks for sharing Chris!

What's the latest Checkmate project boat update?

Did you ever see the pics of our place from last spring that I posted?

They say it's the highest the water has been in over 20 years.

i'm ready to glass the stringers, but time has been scarce, work has been busy, been dating too, which takes up some free time. i am planning on doing some work on monday if all goes well.

fixing the dock has eaten up alot of time too, got one side almost done, this weekend i am jacking up the boat port and flipping those planks, then laying down some dock rubber.

 

[Chris]

Coolio!

The weather is nice this weekend so far.

It's perfect for dock rebuilding.

It looks awesome.

I ordered if from Mike Combs. Sorry for the rather delayed response. :yikes:

[Chris]

Will, do you have any videos of the inline running?

Gawd I love the sound of those tower of powers!

One of the best motors ever and definitely the best sounding.
