    " For Sale" 1980 Checkmate Enchanter

    This boat is now SOLD! A great guy and his son came up from N. Carolina to check it out and take it home with them. It will now have a new home in the Lake Norman area. Plenty of room for them to enjoy this wonderful boat. Thanks to all that were helpful with your suggestions.:bigthumb:

    " For Sale" 1980 Checkmate Enchanter

    It seems there are some here that are puzzled and even annoyed that I was hoping to sell my boat more locally. I would think that would be my perogative. It doesn't make me a bad guy. I have no agenda against someone from another state other than Ohio. Really? I have absolutely nothing...

    Best way to sell a boat?

    Yeh, that's the guy. The boat is near pristine condition. The pics in my CL add and the add on this board are about 2 years old. I've owned this boat since 1982. Up to 6 years ago it was always garage kept with cover on it. The last 6 years it's been stored outside with the cover on and all the...

    Best way to sell a boat?

    What is your fathers name and where is he from? If it were me trying to buy a boat, I doubt I'd travel that far to buy a boat that's 34 years old. If it were close to me I would go take a look at it and go from there. My boat is very nice considering the age but he doesn't really know that...

    Best way to sell a boat?

    I can't speak for some of your "no return calls" but I have a friend that uses CL and he warned me about many people that might try to scam you. So for that reason I'm a little apprehensive about who's responding. Last night I got a responce from a guy about my boat. He left his phone number...

    Best way to sell a boat?

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I've got my boat listed for sale here mainly because it's a Checkmate. I've also listed it in Craigslist. Someone from Craigslist emailed me and said I'd have much better luck selling at boatsfsbo.com. I thought before I do that maybe...

    Gas tank capacity?

    Hello, I'm getting old and starting to forget things I used to know. I was trying to remember how many gallon gas tank I have in my 1980 Enchanter O/B. I thought it was a 30 gallon tank. It is aluminum and it is original. I was trying to find an old brochure on this site but couldn't find...

    "Wanted" Best place to get Merc parts

    Dave I responded to your PM. I went there before I saw you had responded here. $10.00 sounds like a heck of a deal! Once in a while I do get out that direction. I can give you a call a few days before to see if you'll be around. Good opportunity to take a look at your props too.

    "Wanted" Best place to get Merc parts

    That pic on that link looks like it but with different stickers. Hard to say for sure if it would work or not. Could be an exact fit or maybe some fitment issues that wouldn't become apparent until you went to install it. I'm really not sure why mine has cracked at those six mounting holes...

    "Wanted" Best place to get Merc parts

    I'm in Northeast Ohio. Youngstown, Ohio. I tried (for a short time) checking out a few websites yesterday for the part but couldn't find my part on the exploded views. I'm not sure what that piece would be called. I would call it a carburator cover. It's plastic and is about 10" X 14" if my...

    "Wanted" Best place to get Merc parts

    I need to purchase the plastic front carburator cover for a 1986 Merc 200. The one I have has several cracks around the mounting holes. Is this something I would need to get directly from Mercury? Would they even have parts for an older motor? Is there a used parts facility like a salvage...
