    Porsche offshore

    The Porsche 928 aluminum V-8 marine engines where very short lived. 1986 was about it. They had no outdrives to go with them, so the OEM boat manufacturers had no interest in them, amoung other reasons.

    Rig it, drag it down to the motorcycle shop, & put a sign on it out front on the main road there. Would be sold within a matter of hours. Good luck with the sale JP.

    "TOP SECRET CHECKMATE" PIC'S

    There was also a 14' Cobra, as well as the 16'. The 16 was simply a lengthened 14. Some boats were made in metal flake.

    Adding setback to my Pulsare.

    Oh, I thought they were limited to a lower rpm. Did you remove the rev limiter? If so, how?

    "TOP SECRET CHECKMATE" PIC'S

    1989 18' I/O Checkmate-Whats It Called?

    Brother in law has inherited a like-new 1989 Checkmate 18 footer, that has a MerCruiser 5.7L I/O in it. Black gelcoat. What model did they call it & does anyone have any other info they can share about them? It is in northern Michigan on a 1992 trailer & he will most likely sell it, as he lives...
