hello all,

im new here, new to checkmates, and new to boating in general but can't wait to get my feet wet! well actually my hull wet :) I recently purchased a 1979 16.5 ft Checkmate open bow (not sure of model?) with the original 1979 mercury 115 tower of power :). It also has brand new interior, and electrical that looks a bit liek spaghetti but i'm working that out. a lot of boat for just over 1,000.00 havent even had time to put the boat on the water yet but i'm extremely happy with the boat already.
ill attatch a few pics

thanks all,

the steering on the boat is on the tight side, i cleaned and greased the rack and pinion as well as the tilt tube but its still stiff. is it simply time to just replace the old steering cable?
