I saw the ad and I am pretty interested in it. I live in Vancouver Canada, so CM's are VERY hard to find. What do you guys think of the price? What should I be concerned about (soft floor, low compression motor etc) with a Checkmate of this vintage? Looks decent in the photos....

Might need repainted, or a serious polishing job. Other than that she looks great.

The interior looks to be in great condition and the motor looks pretty good. THe listing says that the Condition is: "excellent". But I would agree with coop that it looks like it could use a good buff job. If the boat is as good as it looks in the pictures, and if hull is solid I would say its a decent deal.

If this boat has a solid floor and transom, it is worth twice the asking price! I don't think you will ever find a better deal that close to home. 225 Yamaha is a great motor too. The gelcoat is not too far gone to be able to bring back to life if done properly.
