George designed it, we (Conquest) built the plug. Some changes were made to that plug after delivery at Checkmate and the result did not perform as well as it should have. A lot of finger pointing ended with an arbitration hearing in NYC a few years later, and the parties reached a settlement. The model was discontinued almost at inception and there are a couple still around (1 at K&K Outboard on Long Island).
I am sorry the project ever happened..........
