Here's another for the goofy little boat department. Id venture to say this wasnt a hot seller. Notice the side mount throttle? Looks like the bastard child of my Vyper and an old ass jet ski.

Any thing that easy to fall of does not need a prop. Good toy to dye on!

Sidewinder, is this a Fantasy or a Paradise? I think Vyper and Checkmates version is ruled out.

Looks like the Paradise version. If not a Paradise, then its a copy of a Paradise. Even the copys had copys made off them.

I remember Tim posting the pics from the show but figured it was just a custom boat.
Why am I not working there? I should be a manager or something! :D

I remember when Gary Horsley developed the Playmate molds in his garage before bringing them out to Checkmate. That must have been early/ mid 80s.

Correction, its Checkmate, Fantasy, Paradise, Vyper.......Its running out of names but Fountain isnt one of them! :Rules:
I will say the Vyper version must be built well, because I have had that thing airborne in some rough water many times. Only thing Ive noticed is the arch loosened up a little, but I took care of that. Ive expected to see fractured glass a couple of times. It looks like a light layup.
