Lol 😆 no this thing lot faster then that something is not right my face should be on the back of my head 🤣 lol ok yes now that's more like it my eyes are on my roostertail now as my face is now on the back of my head yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa
I love it I love it. I hope I’m doing stuff like this when I’m his age. Love the age flaps in the wind. That’s how you get a face lift the motor head way👍🏻👍🏻
Im a sucker for a Checkmate! I love the way those boats look on and off the water. I hope I make it to a point in my life where 116mph makes me shake my head. Until then Im happy with my 50mph ski boat. Great video
just climbing up high on the keel around 100 just balancing it there up to 116 it doesnt chine walk but when you cut the throttle the keel drops in the water it gets to be a handful...you better be hanging on!!! lol!!
If you are flying a monohull trimmed up going pretty fast when you chop the throttle it sets down real hard and if you were steering into the torque of the prop then it will hook on you if you aren't ready. Some guys recommend trimming down before backing off the throttle, or just easing off really gently if you can. It feels pretty sketchy on my boat and I'm only doing 55 mph!
Awesome. We used to try to run you in our 24 ft Advantage with a Whipplecharged 502 down at Alum Creek at that shootout. We only ran mid to upper 80s, so we of course lost that fight! Always admired your Checkmate with the white/blue combo.
Kunkels Marine can’t wait to see that.....incredible speeds out of a single engine v-bottom. Two quick questions.... 1) Is the old Alum Creek shootout now at Caesar’s every fall? 2) Did you shoot this with a GoPro or a newer iPhone?
That Captain was the Man 👨, did you see what the wind 🌬 did to that man’s face ? Lmao 😂 🤣 Yes that was extremely scary and exciting at the same time, I was thinking 🤔 something bad is going to happen, but that boat handled like a Champion 💪👍👍👍😎🇺🇸🍺
I know the man who created Checkmate... Bill Kolms and know his son Kip. Crazy cause I ended up building Baja 36 Outlaws in the same town. Shout out to Bucyrus, Ohio the boat capital in the middle of the corn fields.
That ole man face explains me everytime i make a change to my race car and end up slower than before..... *shakes head in disappointment "back to the drawing board."
Mouth open, cheeks under ears. This old boy has never caught a bug to the face at that speed. Passenger probably has because he’s tucked just under the big blast.
You rarely if ever run into bugs out on the Open Water unless there's a swarm of something and we both been riding motorcycles since we were eight years old so trust me we know what a bug to the face feels like
Drag boats need to come out of the throttle slowly. Bow could come down while leaning to one side and hook left or right. Throw you into the side of the boat then out. That was a little dangerous. But still fun to watch.
Love the old guys expression when the other guy said "116 mph" He grimaced as if to say "not fast enough, somethings wrong, let's do it again."
That's exactly right.. lol it will do 120 we just haven't had a chance to do another video.. but hopefully when the weather breaks.
hahahaha! that's exactly what I was thinking!

✨The old man's face was ready to fly off. 😊👌
Respect. He knows how to drive. Hint of chine walk corrected quickly with just a slight correction of the wheel. Thats how its done.
Once the pilot of that boat grimaced he said.. not fast enough let's do it again!! Bad ass grandad right there
He’s not a driver, hes a pilot. This is flying. He has a takeoff, a flight and a landing☺️. And he masters it well.
Grandpa's skin flapping in the wind is awesome.
Sic ride. Dad has a 22’ eliminator v bottom open bow. Ran 96 but chin walks. Props to you for ridding on the edge.

I was waiting for the wind to plump out the old guys cheeks like a chipmunk.
Excellent driving it looked like a couple of times on the Slowdown it was ready to chime walk
Hahahaha, awesome face ripple, that’s livin’ man!! 👍👍
That thing is scary, feel the adrenalin just watching. Could have a massive Wipeout!!!
My favorite part was his look of disappointment at the end of the run like it wasn’t moving fast enough...Yeah buddy!
Nice video! Chine walking at 100mph and the driver keeps her hammered!!!🖒🖒✌

The most dangerous thing it seems is taking your foot off the gas. What a beast

@@bradchristy8429 it has been until this last year it was at Alum Creek
The old guys face skin was freaking me out, I was waiting for it to tear off.
Badass old dude.
Holy crap, dads out to show the boy how its done, I would have pooped em
Brave young man there.
Just so you guys know, these guys here know more about making a checkmate go fast than maybe anyone in the lower 48.
A look at the end says it all . . .
N i c e . . . 😎👍
This thing is bad ass!!!! Young man on throttle is not happy with the outcome,let's run it again ..lol
Hell yeah , I’m redoing an 83 Excalibur speedster. Pre wellcraft, it’s an actual Excalibur from Sarasota.
sweet ride, nice driving that mate.
116mph and the guys not happy with that 🤣🤣jesus that boat was near on taking off haha awsome stuff 🙏
It's been 118 looking to break 120
@@kunkelsmarine7120 looked and sounded awsome you can gauge the speed by the guy driving face 😂😂looks so fast

Seven Marine?
That was nuts! 👍
Wow! This is faster than the Procharge Donzi Hornet from Sweden!
Sleeper boat for sure, not to many single engine Checkmates closing in on 120 mph.
Yeah !! Excellent 👌
Lol good job! Love the flapping jowls!
This boat needs an Arneson!!! You ran out of prop really quickly!
"116mph ain't nearly fast enough to get away from your mother"
Wow...very good test
I am subscriber 203🥳🙌🇺🇸
The old man's skin flapping was speechless
anyone else reminded of that clip where that bold guy hitting the ground with a strong force ?
The old timer getting down. Pant shitter galore. Well done
Dam, that’s awesome
I didn’t know old Al Bundy could afford a boat
Cool as hell
Is this a face lift demo? Cool
Plot twist: the old man dies just around 100 knots with the accelerator fully engaged
"son, this boat disappoints me almost as much as you do..."
Freekin impressive for a single !
Thanks its at 118mph now looking for 120 plus
Stárnutí podle mýho gusta!
Great advertisement for those sunglasses hahah
Pops had that thing skent back
That mans face was about to leave the premises
Wow! I am impressed. Grandpa kept his dentures in for the entire ride.
Hey snow flake, Grand pa would have you crying and pleading to take you back to shore. Give respect son.
The old guys face almost blew off!
The old man needs "MO POWA!"
That’s dudes face is fantastic
Я охренел,а когда разглядел что спидометр в милях а не в километрах то вообще охренел.
I didnt believe it was that speed until i noticed the drivers face ;)
Watching the old guy driving, the way he drives makes me feel unsecured...
That kid knows how to drive
Good thing the dude water skiing behind them bailed out at 20 mph or else he woulda been hanging on for the ride of his life!
I'd Say The OL G still has It!
That ole man face explains me everytime i make a change to my race car and end up slower than before..... *shakes head in disappointment "back to the drawing board."
Old boy getting the blood pumping and massaging the skin! Gangster!
Lord give me arm strength 💪
Grandpa got one big set of wrinkley balls!
Pawpaw wasn’t happy with 116 lol 😂 . Love it I need 150 no less dammit
That's bad ass

How'd he kept those glasses on?

Ветерок 8 полюбому стоит 🤣

Not a drag boat
wtf is an elderly guy putting all those people at risk
Which drive??
The driver went from young to old age in less then a minute.
Not sure if the old dude was in a panic attack or was it the wind..or both..lol
That old man doesn't have the fastest of reactions lol dunno if I'd want him driving mehz that fast :o
Thing is there not a single person in the comments that could drive that boat anywhere close to that speed.
