Hey it was a real good time and yes you guys sure deserved a chance to unwind!

Anyone that sees this work up close can have nothing but respect for all of you.

Every where we look there are LED lights.

I have counted close to 100 and they are awesome.

We turned out the lights in the shop and it is like being in a disco.

Looks great !!!!!

I have to throw in though,,,,, your the only guy I know who would redo one of the best cared for 36's out there!!!!

There's no way to really give the full effect of the LED's with pictures.

There are blue and white in the engine compartment. Blue under the seat base. Blue under the front bolsters and in the storage compartments at the gunnels. Then there are blue in the cuddy and red inside all the lockers in the cuddy.

Those are all very nice but the realy cool part is the four LED light bars that are computer controlled and have over 10,000 colors. They are also wired to the stereo for effect. You can have one single color. The you can press the button and scrolls through all the colors and press the button again and it strobes and so on.

Air Horns

There will not be a tunnel vision PWC driver any more that does not know I'm coming.

Yes two pair (four trumpets) with two compressors!

Man that thing is LOUD.

Adam did a fantastic job of mounting the compressors under the rear bench.

I know guys that have built five custom high $$$ boats in the time we have owned the 36. A new boat is just not in the cards for us at this time and I'm really happy that we had this opportunity to make this happen. I've said it before but we are blown away by how nice this has turned out. Words just cannot express what a wonderful experience this has been.

No regrets and as Adam told the wife this evening on the phone "This is a VERY special boat".

Of course most of you have already been introduced to Lisa and Kate.

Man they sound NICE and Adam could not believe how they idled just like a stock 500EFI.

A comment was made that this is the nicest boat to every co out of the Checkmate factory. While it turned out super nice and while we are very proud of it that is not a fair statement for Checkmate who has always built a nice product.

Dean and Doug have a lot of nice tricks up their sleeves that I wish i could share. Keep as eye out for them at the Miami boat show this year with a brand new model.

It's really exciting to see what is going on up there and I know there will be a lot of awesome boats coming out of Checkmate in the days to come.

A special thanks to Dean for the Lisa & Kate stickers and Tommie really appreciates the Mercury Racing bag and the clock. They are real nice and already in use.

Doug, Linda and Dee are wonderful people and I have really enjoyed visting with you all on the recent trips.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to every one at Checkmate.

Doc- you going to run the boat this week on LKN? It's suppose to be in the mid 60s by Wednesday. I hope to make it out on Wed/ Thurs to test some props.

Thank you Clayton for a very nice job on the hatch mount and the lift tube.

The candy blue is awesome and we appreciate you stopping the work on the Harley paint set to jump right on this I think?
