Not sure how long this link will be active so enjoy it while you can

1994 video so check out some of the classics in the back ground too.
BTW, anyone smarter on puters than me?? Can't figure out how to download/save it before it gets vaporized. Normal, right click> save target as doesn't seem to work???

I have always loved that video. I'm a hot rod guy, so when I see something that took a ton of work to make go fast.... I just dig it. All these boats in this thread are proof that with the proper dedication and tools, one can make some bad ass toys.

Been wondering lately if anyone realizes or remembers that??

Nothing against the high zoot rigs but seems we are taught we are 2nd class w/o one.

The muscle car scene has turned to the same.

Fawk me that has to be a ride! I love how it's the crappiest looking boat too!

Is it wrong to revive a 2 year old thread when it was about you? I saw at least five of my buddies comment and not one of them told me about this thread.

Hmmm... did Check300 make the LOTO Shootout this year? I notice that he and the NV2P1 class winner both have the same first name.

I do not think Check300 went to LOTO, Bill does have a SWEEET and FAST Checkmate though!

I hear Bill's new boat is not to shabby, either!

A 21' Checkmate Pulsare w- a stock 300XS was just GPSed at 104 mph. That is hauling the mail in a SOB.
