I think it's time to do something different. we will still go to the Nationals & Reynolds but that is going to be about it. we bought the camper a few weeks ago & have been looking for a Checkmate for a while. I came across this one & I think I may end up with it.



:confused::confused: I wonder if we can do a turbo & XFI?? :biggrin::biggrin:

Looks great Steve! I can't wait to see the inside. Bowling Green is going to be a blast especially with Kate in the campgrounds with the other girls.
 
250 HP from that giant engine????
should have bought a Seadoo ;)
255HP that fits in your back pocket :)

Now, I've seen some pretty BIG back pockets in my day, but........you must have some REALLY BIG back pockets, Otto.:eek:;)

Cool toys, there. Have fun. The older I get, the more I've figured out there's more to life than Turbo Buicks. Spend quality time with your family.

I'd like to see you play tug-o-war with him on the water. I bet he'd drag your ass like you weren't there.....with your 5 extra horsepower and all.:biggrin:

Kinda like thinking your 600hp Turbo 6 is stronger than a 600hp Catapillar.
 
So ever get drunk and fall out of the door above the garage doors? :confused::D
nope, sure haven't, you'll only do it once because it is a 14' drop. ;)

I don't think we will be @ the campground this year because we still need to replace our enclosed gooseneck trailer with a enclosed tag along.
can we get a team together to boat/jetski to Bimini Island? :eek:

this 250HP will cart yourself & a passenger or 2 across the water @ about 70mph & you don't need a bathing suit.

I have been thinking the exact same thing lately. we can throw the camper in the truck, hook to the boat & head away for the weekend.
 
There is lots to do with that engine if you want to take the risk... My bass boat has a 250 XB Pro on it. I was told there were lots of little tricks... I didn't do them for reliability and warranty purposes but it is out now so I might tinker with it. Let me know what you do:biggrin: Hope you enjoy!

Otto and Cal, what are your top speeds on those skis?

Mine only has a few mods and has run 74MPH,It goes 0-60 in about 2.5 secs though :eek:

Cals on the other hand has run 90.8 MPH and has a billet wheel Precision turbo on it :eek:

Both speeds were measure with GPS.

Although top speed is great, acceleration is where it's at on a jet ski. With that said, mine has GPS'ed at 90.8mph and is making over 400hp on pump gas.

Steve: You need to trade trailers with Sully and come join us in the campgrounds.

That acceleartion is too much for me, I got sick feeling last time I got on a "fast" one... I love top end on the water, my big bass boat tops out at 80 on the gps:biggrin:

Cal 90+:eek: that is badazz:cool:
 
update... we bought the boat, our neighbor is jealous & telling the wife that boat will beat you to death, it's to fast, blah blah blah, & it's a freaking blast. who cares about the Buick, I'm going to the lake to waste some edit "a lot" of gas. :cool:
 
Congrats on the boat! We bought one this year as well. Our twins are 9 and we've had some great times on the water. Their only there for a short time, then their grown and gone. Your car will wait. Enjoy!
