1975 Checkmate Vmate restoration
I got a good deal on the boat and trailer package so I dicided to go ahead and buy it and rebuild it and keep it on the water . This boat is going to be for me only . No water sking,tubing or anything like that . Just for me to get out and tear up the lake . My trimate will be my ski boat ....

That will be getting sent out here to Wayne in s.c. for him to rebuild for me. Everything for the transom to the floor and stringer to sanding and repainting . Its getting it all .

Looking good Will!
Thanks for sharing that.
Spring is just around the corner, so hopefully you can get working on it soon.
