    With great sadness, I must sell my 2012 2400 BRX

    For personal reasons I must sell my new 2012 Checkmate 2400 BRX, which has logged about 14 hours on the 300xs. My wife and I are suddenly pressed to make some unexpected decisions regarding the kids, and we are saddened to have to do this. I have no idea what kind of beating I am going to...

    2400 Pulsare Br vs 2400 Brx BR

    To answer another question: BRX has ski storage rack behind rear seat (above the bilge). Under the front seats, the areas are gel-coated and have drains, and the BRX is a liner boat, so the front seats (and under the rear bench) are possible coolers, if you want to use them that way. .

    Finally got some decent pics.

    Boat/motor combo is sweet. I've had engine issues.... from needing a new gearcase, one new coil (even though all 300's have the newest coil design)... new plugs... all before 15 hrs of run time. So... while Mercury Racing has been responsive, you just know some of the pieces were made in China...

    yeah... I had that coming. We had a tornado tear up our neighborhood Friday night; it wiped out power all night, canceled a sleepover for our daughter and threw a wrench into all plans. Wound up without power all Saturday. Wife So, I didn't get out until Sunday at 1pm, and had our...

    Checkmate using stickers??

    I can't see the pics. That site must be blocked for me. I have a new 2400. "Checkmate' name and horsehead are the only stickers. Edit: I forwarded them to my phone. So, they are a before/after of what? A build? Stickers on a white hull has to save some money for the buyer. One...

    So... Merc Racing sending out new gearcase for my 300XS w/ 13 hours. Alrighty then.

    First of all, my local Merc guy is outstanding to make this happen and track and find all the f-ups inside the gearcase from Merc. I am posting this so others are warned and can check whatever they want accordingly: Of course, check the fluid. Mine went milky from a loose speedo tube...

    How many miles do you run in a day of boating?

    I usually put on 2-3 hrs of engine time each time out, but never really thought about miles traveled.
