Is this a checkmate? Name the Year/ Make/ Model

[goleafsgo_12]

Hey guys, I am looking for somebody to name the year make and model of this boat. It's an old family boat, and I am trying to track it down, but can't figure out what it was as I was very young when we had it. A few people hinted it to be a Checkmate, or some form of a knock off, hopefully somebody here can tell me. Last known to have been built in the 1970's with goldish-brown flake paint, 115hp tower or power Mercuy engine, 15-18' range, very distinct windshield profile, tripod ski mount in the center of the floor. Last seen in Gravenhurt, Ontario (Muskoka)

Welcome to the Forum. Nice looking boat. Hopefully someone can help shed some light on the make and model. I've just looked through a bunch of Checkmate pictures from the early to mid 70's and can't find a match. Quite a few with similar hull profiles and designs in the 15-16 foot range, as that one looks to be. As you mentioned though a very distinctive windshield in that it has the aluminum framing all the way around. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Best of luck in your search. Jim

Thanks for the reply. Viper1 sent me a PM yesterday and thinks its a '71, and the wind shield being from a different boat. The fibreglass profile where the side wind shield posts terminate into the deck is distinct as well, but the bow deck body lines seem to be a dead match.

Just joined and came across this three year old post. I believe it is a Forester. I had one in the early eighties with the same windshield. Mine was blue with a 115 Evinrude, 16'.

No side photos, that came from a family photo album of years gone by. No luck turning up the boat thus far!
