Mike,

It was a real pleasure to finally meet you this weekend.

I especially like your boat and when I saw you coming on strong I looked at Dean and said "You going to let a Baja bet you?" He pushed it down the it started buzzing as we hit the rev limiter and he was sick that he did not change the prop that morning. He was going to then we started talking breakfast and he said hey it's not a race right!

The expression when you passed us on both Dean and JR's face was priceless!

It took about a second for them to ask what you have in that thing and actually I forgot that you were running a 600SC.

Dude that is one sweet package and you have to be very proud of how it runs.

It was a great time and I look forward to seeing you on the water next season.

The Checkmate would be faster without the BIG windshield.

Actually I consider it to be a small windshield but you are right. They also do a windscreen in fiberglass. This was actually a customers boat that they just completed and it also had metal flake in the gel per the customers request.

It is getting a little magazine atttention thing week and then being delivered to the customer.

Hey thanks you guys. Dock & Shannon, great to meet you guys too.
Man that was cold but loads of fun.

Stephen, I do have the shorty on. I hate to say but it didn't seem to do anything for speed. I'm keeping it for now because it does allow me the same speeds with a little less trim, so I feel like I'm not beating the daylights out of the drive like before. Plus it is cool looking.
