Great pictures! How did the Checkmate run with the T2 on it?? Did you have to push it to get it started??

[RABCO18]

i had to lay on the deck and reach over and push throttle with my hand i also had a twister 1 with chrome stacks on that boat cant find pictures the sherrif loved that motor always harrassing me and i forgot while pushing throttle with one hand usually had to hit primer button with other

[RABCO18]

you call yourself largecar do you drive a truck

[largecar91]

I run a trucking company. I have driven and owned lots of trucks over the last 31 years.

[RABCO18]

i own a trucking company also and have for 30 years my father used to own frostways in detroit if your from ohio you probably saw our reefers heading east with loads of meat

[RABCO18]

used to run 359 petes with v8 cats and 6 by 4 transmisions those were largecars

[largecar91]

Yes they were. An extended hood Pete is the only way to travel. I was leased to Monfort from Colorado in the 80's. They didn't call the left lane the "Monfort Lane" for nothing!. We hauled swinging meat. I remember Frostways. I still run a few Petes w 550's and 18's. Gotta go for the fuel mileage now.

:cool:55054I found this one nice ride

:cool:55054I found this one nice ride

I know Bruce Nescher patented the MOD VP bottom, but I'm not sure he was the real designer. Somehow I always thought Phil Percival designed the bottom.

You can see the "HILL" bracket on the back. I designed ths bracket on a napkin for Bob Leach. Bob had Tommy Papp, I think, build the first bracket on a jet boat. Sleek followed suit soon after.

Cool picture!


WOA! Is that boat a TAYLOR????? I thought it was a Sleek.....but now I'm confused.

[Detroit Whitey]

Nope it's a sleek55056

[Ron Hill]

This was, for sure an "Outboard" Boat. Bruce was quite a guy. I'm not sure anynbe has ever written about all the thing he reall did do. For quite ahile he really was a "HIGH ROLLER" (One of his boat names, I think).

I had two Sleek Craft Mod VP boats, he gave me both of them...And when I blew one over and mesed it up pretty well. He fixed it with charging me a dime. Of course, Ted Bravo bought more than 25 boats from Bruce one year, and Ted was my friend! (Muscle Boats).

Those boat were fun to drive and had great lines.
