Everytime I see a boat like that in Alberta being pulled behind a huge SuperDuty I wonder where they drive them? They always seem to be coming back from Chestermere which is lame.
Saskatoon has an awesome annual boat race on the river.

Holly. I did not think there would be boats like this out here. I’m from Kingston Ontario, and boats like this are all over the place. Also gust outside k-town there is a yearly pocker run where the boats come from all over. And they close parts of the St. Lawrence river and let them open right up.

you say it has a "500" block... what kind of engine is it? it sais mercury on the valve covers, i didnt realize that mercury marine made v8's. also... that is the coolest name for a speed boat... "the cats meow"
awesome dude!

Merc's are basicly chevys. The boat will most likely have a 502 BB Chevy.

Ya its a chevy 502
Thought i answered this before.. guess not

Calltrex have you ever had anything to do with Built Engines out of Kingston, Ontario; they are an engine shop that specializes in NA marine engines. To what I have been told their stuff is suppose to be the top of the hill for NA engines. Gust wondering if they are, or is it gust home town hype.

I don't know a heck of a lot about boats, but I hope to own a Checkmate someday. They build some pretty sweet boats.
