Just bought a Checkmate

[MrT]

I just purchased a Checkmate and I am trying to determine what model I have

The boat is in the 18' to 19' range and has a 350 OMC engine and outdrive.

What propeller is best for this boat for maximum speed?

I'm told the boat is a 1985 it is a closed bow boat, looks like an enchanter or convincer but i'm not sure.

check that out seems to be your boat if it an 85 lookes to be an Exciter I/O the last 2 digits of the Hull ID is the year. If its not look in the gallery section for more model info. Where in mass you located you can pm that info just looking to get some people together.

That's it

It is an Exciter for sure, you asked where based, based in the Springfield Mass area.

This boat has an OMC outdrive which i understand is not that desirable or common. Any Idea of the value of this boat.
