    http://http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa231/mechanical73/ This is a 21 ft. 1986 Checkmate Enchanter with the 260 HP I/O. The boat is in very good condition. The two issues at this point are the impeller will need to be changed as the temps were close to 200 last season (boat normally...

    overheating

    I have had this boat for 3 years and it never ran hot (always ran at about 170). However, this season, it has been getting up to 200 and yesterday it actually reached 220 ! I stopped and turned off the engine - I could hear the water boiling in the exhaust manifolds and steam coming out of...

    21 ft. Checkmate Enchanter w/ Trailer $ 6800

    This boat is in very good condition considering its age. It's a 21 ft and has the 260 hp Mercruiser I/O and Alpha 1 outdrive and is in excellent mechanical condition. Complete tune-up performed on engine and outdrive has been rebuilt last season. It has the thru-hull exhaust and sounds awesome...

    21 ft. 1986 Enchanter I/O w/ trailer

    Boat is in very good condition. The only thing that I've noticed doesn't work all the time is the trim gauge - other than that it needs nothing. I purchased the boat last year and according to the prior owner it was garaged for most of the time - which would explain the good interior and...

    trailer tie down question

    straps thanks guys. I had the winch go on me the other day and the safety chain worked but I was wondering if the winch is supposed to be used to hold the boat on trailer. In other words, on your set-ups even though you're using additional securement means the winch is still the one under the...

    Plug Wires

    plug wires i was actually looking into changing mine also. they're working fine but i have no idea how old they are. i know that we can use automotive one's but the trick is finding the right length and terminal style depending on exhaust. someone mentioned MSD which makes great plug wires...
