Doc,

Very nice...can't wait to hear some numbers.

Are those the motors that you had orginally built then put for sale???

I just refer to Mark as the legend!

He is a cool guy that loves what he does and does it GREAT. I could not have asked for anyone better to build my engines. He is extremely nice to work with, runs a very professional shop and does incredable work.

Nice to see someone else out there stimulating the economy. Beautiful job! I love to see these boats put together right.

Well let me introduce the crew.

On the left is the one and only Adam Shook wearing a very nice shirt. In the middle is Dave Leonhardt and on the right is Lane Carlisle.

All three of these guys are from Baja in Bucyrus and have combined a lot of years worth of boat building experience.

Adam is the brain behind all the poker run boats and the cool stereo systems and the trick LED lights just to mention a couple of things. What he has done with my boat on the wiring, rigging, stereo and the LED's is off the charts.

Dave is simply superman that has lead this entire project and pulled everything together. He is kind of quite but if you listen real close you will hear the gears in his head turning. He has impressed me so much with this project that I don't have words to express it. He did not like how the oil filters were too close to the cables running though the transom for the drive trim indicators and pulled the engines back out and relocated the cables!

Lane is one of the best upholstery guys in the industry period. Because we went back with McLeod he did not get to show off all his talents on this project but has been a real big help and has overseen all the install. If you look at the rear seats on the "Split Decision" poker run boat that is his doing.

Dave and Lane are XT Innovations and they are open for business and ready to help you with any and all you boat repair needs.

Mild to WILD
Small to Large
Stock to CUSTOM

They can do it all and if you read this thread to you will see that I'm telling you straight!

Hey are you guys aware of the fact that McLeod is offering you a trade in on your bolsters toward a new set of theirs?

Yes any brand bolster can be traded in on a new set of McLeod's.

I think we are the first to take advantage of the new program.

The wife and I rode on "Split Decision" at Lake Erie this summer and loved it. The first thing she said to me was "I want bolsters like these in our boat"!

Well they were the new style bolsters (Agressor 4) and now we have them.

Stephanie was wonderful to deal with and gave us a great deal.

As for quality their product speaks for itself.

They worked with us on colors and the design of the logo we wanted and here they are.

Here are a few more of the bolsters.

Well if you go to McLeod's website you will see a picture of a really TRICK custom one of a kind triple rear bolster that Mike McLeod made for a friend of his to go on a 36 Outlaw.

It took just a little twisting of his arm but he argreed to do one for us and I'm really pumped about it. They came and picked up my sun pad and did all the modifications in their shop and delivered the finish product back to Checkmate when they brought an order of seats to them.

I think there are only two 36's with this setup. The rear bolster will now go up and down with the sun pad to allow better access to the engine compartment.
