Thanks Sywayz!

Molds are now SOLD & delivered.

I did find a 13 Bullet for sale in South Jersey though and put it up on my website. Check my Classifieds page.

Myself and my brother had Two Mx-13 and one Mx-15 still have the 15. All were 1973's. 85hp merc. on one 13 and 75hp johnson on the other. Talk about the ride of your life, that is if you like chine walking. What a blast those MX-13 were. They would launch stright up with only the lower end left in the water. Could go from 0 to wide open instantly. The good old days when we were young and stupid.

If you buy a Checkmate mx-13 then two motors would be your best choice.

70hp Johnson will push it 65mph with a 21 pitch prop set high. You definately will need trim tabs. Mine chinewalked like hell until I installed tabs.

Even better would be a 90hp mercury, jacked up with a nose cone....ye haaa

I had two, the first one I cracked in half and blew up three motors doing stupid things like chasing giant power boat wakes. After I cracked in half I left it to rot in my brothers back yard and he pushed it down a hill.

It is now a flower box.

The second one I restored to mint condition and installed wrap around sit down bolster.

I used to rip around boston harbor in it on fourth of July...
