2002 Checkmate Pulse 185 Value

Bidding War, Eh? Not a chance...if the boat sells for 13K, it sells for 13K. I won't be heartbroken. It's a nice rig, but there will always be other opportunities...you have to be willing to walk away. I truly believe gas prices are going to be over $5/gallon this summer with what's going on in Iran.

If the owner is willing to part with the Pulse for 10K, I'll take it off his hands...if not, he can let it sit in his garage...

Yeah eh!, and gas prices have been over $5.00 a gallon here for longer than I can remember eh! who cares aboot gas prices eh, we only got open water up here for a few weeks a the year anyway eh.
 
If you run near me, you can borrow my comp tester. I've tested it against another known good gauge and they were dead even.

My 2.5 liter Promax was 120-125 psi all around when it was 9 years old.
My 2.5 liter XR6 was 120-125 psi all around when it was several years old.
My 2.0 Merc was just above 100 all around. It was a '94. Still ran great, but shows my gauge isn't stuck on 120-125 :rof:
My current Yamahammer is 125 all around, it's a 2002.


Make sure you do the test when the engine is quite warm, the kill switch is pulled 'open', the throttle is wide open, and you're battery is full.
 
JW - Thanks for the compression ranges. I agree with other posters...compression can vary based on temperature, battery strength, etc.

I have a good boat mechanic that I can bring out to look over the rig.
