    Ckmate 229 Maxxum

    This is a 1990 Checkmate boat Maxxum 229 with 300 Johnson V 8 Yr 88 Looper, 35 hr since rebuilt on powerhead. I did have it in the water a couple times and the motors run great. The boat needs a good home. I just don’t have the time anymore for it. The hull itself is in very solid and in good...

    Ok, use aquabuff brought back that shine back to my old mate. Two days later that old ugly oxidation is poking its nose out again along back deck area. Yes, wax and cover it, when I was done buffing it out. What gives?

    Gel Coat haze

    Well on the boat deck it was wet maybe to wet. I don't know because I was following the aqua buff directions. How were you applying the paste on polisher or on the boat deck?

    Gel Coat haze

    That does make sence. The boat has been sitting storage for 18 months. It layer of dust inch thick on the front deck. Yes, try washing still there. I guess I'll give hit it a few more times. I'm glad, I bought 1 gallons containers

    Plant tour

    Ok, finally got up to Ohio and tour the Ckmate plant. I actually lay my hands on the new 24. It’s shaping up to be a very cool boat. My only concern was access to the batteries. Kip told me that “he had his crack team of engineer’s working day and night to solve that issue”. He seemed to be very...

    Would Like Your Opinion on New O/B Model !

    Mr. Comb, if you are telling that seats going to look like what skater offers that’s very cool. I’m big fan of high back seats. The windshield, I can live with, if it’s above eye level when seated. Don’t take dated quote as dig against the boat. I’m very interested in final product. In fact...

    Would Like Your Opinion on New O/B Model !

    Honestly, classics Ckmate lines, not thrill about windshield, the 24 looks like a over grow 22.9 maxxium . The gunnels don’t look high enough to support bolster seat arrangement (correct me if I’m wrong) I was hoping for update look. A solid back transom would be nice. Your current design seems...
