Slightly OT I reckon but those of you with older boats might want to check into if and at what age your state considers a boat 'antique'.

In FL if a boat is over 30 yrs old, powered by it's origional type motor, and used for non-commercial purposes. It may be registered as a antique.

The savings are substantial. Registration for my dearly departed '71 V153 was $6.25 per year. No BS.

Worth looking into?

Here's a pic on the day the kit was delivered (May 3rd 1983). (it's black and white because the magazine i was writing for hadn't got round to using colour at that time). I'll see if I can find some more later on. On the left, live-aboard yard character Ken. Now long gone! On the right, my dad who played a big in the building and finishing of the boat. Also sadly long gone! In the middle, Mel who I haven't seen for years but still going strong I believe! Pic underway was taken from a Coastguard helicopter on exercise after they had dropped a crewman on board via the winch cable. You can see him sitting next me on the flybridge enjoying a cup of tea!

I saw that a while back when someone mentioned it - that's so cool. Unfortunately, nothing like that here in TN.

Anyone happen to know if anything like this exists for PA? I did a quick search that turned up nothing, but I didn't spend too much time on it.

1981 Checkmate Enticer. Went down to the dealer in 1981 to pick it out with my dad. I got the keys 3 months ago and started on it. Had to replace pretty much everything forward of the transom wood. OK the transom wood too. Got it in the water yesterday.

Looks Great!! Nice work.

Re: Classic boat pic gallery (20yr and older)

I was never much for bowriders in that vintage of boat with a few exceptions. Yours looks really good. Great job.

Reminds me of a Glastron/Carlson CVZ though I think they had less deadrise. Bet your hull is very similar to my '81 Baja.

Nice work!

Here is our 88 Starcraft Medalist 1600 powered by a Evenrude1988 88SPL. We bought the setup July 2010 and used the boat 6-7 time for the season. Had to replaced the floor and reupholstered the seats May 2011. She was back in the water June of 2011. We have a blast in our smaller/older boat, we move to a house right on the lake this year. So the Summer of 2012 will be even better with the boat in the water and ready to take a spin whenever!

1981 Checkmate Enticer.

Nice. I've always loved the 70's and early 80's Checkmates. A lot of peole like the looks of the closed bow Checkmates better than the bow riders, but a bow rider is much more practical when you have a family. Checkmate did a great job of keeping their "look" in the bow riders.

Bet your hull is very similar to my '81 Baja

Not a lot of people realize that Baja's first boats were built in molds obtained from Checkmate.

Don't think of her as classic but technically...

Most recently with new upholstery and a camper top

We do a little bit more every season.
