It is with a heavy heart that I put my beloved Checkmate up for sale. She's about as clean as you can get with NO issues!!! Motor is 5.7L 350 & is smooth & strong, Alpha One outdrive is smooth & just serviced this past fall, prop is a Mirage 21P (great hole shot, low to mid 60's top end), "all original" interior looks like new (except the carpet is a bit matted), original gel coat shines with metalflake madness (the WHOLE boat is flecked-even the black, can someone say metalflake alert?), floors & stringers are solid as the day she was built with NO rot anywhere! Ive upgraded the stereo to a JVC with Blu-tooth & USB & I also installed 15 red LED lights (on a dimmer) hidden in the cockpit & engine hatch. I'm very anal-retentive and it shows. She's always been stored indoors or on a covered lift in the summer by ALL owners (I'm the 3rd) and you would be hard pressed to find a 3 year old boat that looks this good!!! Original matching C-Hawk trailer (also in great condition) with new tries & spare, bimini top, cockpit cover & full custom cover are included along with all the original sale papers.
A short history lesson:
Checkmate stopped making the Enchanter in 1988. According to Kip Combs, there were only 4 or 5 Enchanters made (ALL custom orders) in '89... as far as he could tell they were all I/O's. Not sure what effect that would have on the value but he did acknowledge that my boat is pretty rare & should become a bit more valuable to the serious Checkmate conasuer... for what that's worth!
$8900- is a steal compared to other Enchanters I've seen for sale.
Feel free to contact me with any ???'s.
