1984 Exciter restoration almost complete

[jamestorque9]

Here is my 1984 checkmate exciter almost complete. Picked it up for $1k and did a full sanding and buffing job on the original gel coat, new interior, and a simple tune up and a new prop. About 3k into the boat all together now and its looking good and running a solid 67mph on the original 350.

I sent 2 requests to checkmate about getting information on replacement seats and carpet. I never got a response from them so I decided to have a local shop do it. They rebuilt the back seat because the wood was rotting bad, as well as the engine cover pads. So new wood, foam and vinyl for everything cost $1600. I'm in California and have never seen another checkmate out here yet.
