This is for all the CheckMate Fans. One of my best memories of my racing in my 24ft. Checkmate Inforcer with a 350 HP small block. Yes I did beat Dirty Dancing with the big block. 5's on the outside dog leg and Dirty Dancing's driver broke his throttle elbo on the first lap. A win is a win I guess.

I remember in the late 70's as a kid driving up and down the Mentor Lagoons in my 8 ft. wooden skiff looking for another skiff to race with my 69 3HP Johnson. I would drive close to the Powder Keg that never left it's place at the dock. I would look at the scum line on the side and the hair hanging off the drives and bottom and couldn't figure out why such an awsome boat never left the dock. It had big oak trees above it and all the bird crap and leaves would cover the top sides. I never saw it leave the dock once in all them years. Every late fall it would disappear and show up again the next spring. Anyone have more pictures of the Keg? Also there was a boat called Fly United from the Lagoons. Does anyone know what happened to this boat or any pictures?
