New Member with a possible Checkmate MX-14

Its nice to see these pop up on here from time to time . Lately there has been a lot more MX'S and Vmates showing up . They really are fun boats
 
:welcome: I'm guessing 71 or 72. Ask the grand wizard (Viper 1). I bet he will know. The deck has more rounded corners than I've seen on MX's and the hull has that arrow tip in the bow that looks like the V-mates.
 
It sure looks like a MX-14 to me In my avatar was my MX-14. It was a 1970

When I was first searching MXs I thought it was a 1970 MX-15. They didn't have those protrusions on the top of the sides, so they were smooth going down the sides. Than later I realized there were MX-14s.
 
I had the same boat and it was an mx-15. had a 150 inline on it. very fun boat. if you ever decide to sell, let me know. I have wanted on for years to restore.

The V-mates have these 3 strips in the deck . The bottom half of the boat is the same as the MX . But Sammie should be able to answer this question for sure ...

I will keep that in mind. I'm in the boat pretty cheap so I was planning on putting some money into a good sized engine and keeping it.
 
1970

Checkmate made that deck style in both the MX-14 and MX-15 only in 1970. The MX-14 is 14 ft long and was rated for 100 hp while the MX-15 is 15 ft long and rated for 150 hp. back than Checkmate put the serial number and hp rating on a small metal plate that was placed on the right side of the boat just in front of where the controls would go. The MX-14 was also not as wide as the MX-15. I hope this helps you. Always Sammie Action Marine

Thanks for the info! This is great! Yeah this explains why I can't find any of them. Here's a picture of where that plate should be. (If it works)

All you have too do is copy the direct link from photobucket. Click the yellow picture icon on the Checkmate reply window at the top and paste it in there.null_zpsd08feb8f.png

That is where my info is on my 72 Jetmate.

Here is a quick pic of the MX-15 ID Tag
I am about to bring this boat home soon and give it a better home.
This boat has been in that plastic shed for over 10 years.
ONE STREET away from my house and I didn`t know about it.
Will take better close up soon.

Yeah I don't have that. Does anyone know if they had the coast guard plates back then? When I was talking to a guy with a 1973 Playmate he said they didn't exist at that time.
 
That metal plate with the buttom on it is right where it would of been.
Thats why the ID tag is gone. wouldn`t be nice if it was still there under the plate?
What is that button for?
