    HELP WTH SET UP on 72 MX-15

    mx-15 setup years ago Most of the ones that handled well where I ran my boat, had short shaft ( 140 and later 150) engines, tabs and dual ride guide steering. The only one I saw with a long shaft was not very quick and chine walked all over the place. Even with everything right the boat was a...

    Looking for a 303 320 or 330

    big checkmates I just viewed 15 checkmates on boattrader, it's probably really about half that many. Watch yourself with some of these characters, if they are like some of the autotrader listers they will try and scam you. like financing 3000.00 for 290.00 a month for 40 months. good luck craig

    A taxing issue-my head hurts thinking about it...

    Taxes for your boat Trust me you are infinitely better of (financially)where you are than if you were in Flint MI, pay the tax and thank your lucky stars you have a job, and don't have a Canadian for a governor. Hell in MI we collect Canada's garbage. Multiply your taxes times two and you...

    starflite

    yellow enchanter The one I saw yesterday in Fairhaven was a 1979 yellow enchanter (probably a repaint) with an 82 200 merc, but the price on it was $3950. Could there be two for sale at the same time in FH?

    4 weeks, still no boat :(

    been there done that Had a new boat delivered with messed up steering in 1985. It sat for the entire summer while the dealer, the boat builder, and mercury marine argued about who was responsible to fix the outdrive steering. By the way it was not a checkmate.

    When is Checkmate going to update there site

    checkmate site and literature update Unfortunately not everyone uses this site, so it is possible that there are many prospective buyers out there that don't really know all the offerings. I guess it could also mean they are expending all their resources to building boats. However checkmates...

    seebold vs CHECKMATE

    Just po'd the guy who is selling a 21 seebold on ebay which poped up on scream and fly (boats for sale 20' and over). He stated a seebold is a better boat than a checkmate. I sort of challenged his reasoning, like who still builds 21' outboards. Also, no way a 21 seebold runs 80-85 with a stock...

    new (to me) 4L ob

    F.Y.I. New 300 h.p. 4 stroke 4 litre o.b. Suzuki makes it. The lower looks kinda like a sportmaster. More info. on their site. I had a 200 Suzuki on a lund 2100, the sucker(motor) even talked ( asian womans voice in English, yor mota is low on oil) very disconcerting. This boat (lund) was...

    Coolest pontoon boat?

    2 for 1 For the cost of 1 new 27 fountain you could have a couple year old 27/28 checkmate and a new top of the line pontoon with a bar/changing room and all the toys, sounds like a plan to me.

    2001 Convincor 270 (Sold)

    location noyb Think about puting a location in your ad. NOYB for a location doesn't make buyers feel warm and fuzzy. Sounds like a great boat, one I would like to have. You only have to tell them you are from IA, this gives people an idea how far they have to go to get the boat. Good luck...
