What a great day in Richmond for our first outing of the season. 80 degrees, 10-15mph wind and sunny. First run of the season and the boat is running great. Hope most of the Checkmate family got out.

Weather hit low 70's just inland on Lake Michigan. Still buying necessities before this "Check" gets out though.

I wish I could have made it out but still awaiting the Lightning headers w/silent choice. Been 3wks since ordering, still not here!!

We changed the oil and drive oil and then had some time to burn so we went out for a few hours. It was so nice to get back out on the water. It was sunny and 80 at LOTO today. Couldn't have had better weather.

we made it to cumberland lake last thursday and friday.finished prop testing!! the winner was the hydromotive 4 blade! 2 mph faster than any of my labbed bravos!! safe boating to all!! BILL

Got to love that Hydromotive Willy! Glad to see so many 'Mates made it out last weekend. Can't wait til next one, it's finally season
