Sweeeeet!
That looks alot different than it did when I was there on the 18th.
Wanna trade for a 94 pulse 185 ? http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[fnshrmaster]

Looks nice Kip!I bet it wont last long at that price.Looks like the deck buffed out nicely,thats gonna make a nice rig for someone.Anyone interested in this boat,it always ran great for me,never a problem.+ you get to see the factory as an added bonus! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[jrumon]

Hey Kip... Nice job on the interior rework! Much more human than the "all pink" thing. http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

Man, looks great...very tempting!!! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif Jim

[JW]

You know what Jim? My buddy has a Starflight with a 3.0 225 and we raced my 2100BR with 225 Promax and here was the results:

I was much quicker out of the hole because I could spin a small pitch prop several hundred rpms higher, but he was faster on top end! No matter what prop I tried, I couldn't pull him on top end. I personally think the Starflight bottom is a little faster than the Pulsare 2100 bottom because of the step and the built in setback....................

[jgreen]

Kip:

I looked at that boat in Fargo, ND. Before it was sold to fnshrmaster, it has come a long ways since then, I would be interested again if you would be interested in a trade.

1994 pulse 185, 175 efi mariner, 5 1/2 inch manual jackplate, shorelander roller trailer, cmfargo and jkeiper on this board have seen the boat and can vouch for its condition.

Let me know what you think. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Kip Combs]

Not really interested in trading this.....it was a trade-in for a trade-in ...if ya follow me . Need to get some cash out of this one.

[jrumon]

JW... I have always loved the starflight closed deck design!!! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/surf.gif

Hey Kip... how much more to saw a hole in the front for the kids??? (just kidding)http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/brickwall.gif
Also Kip...how is the carpet/floor condition???

Someone I should grab this one up before I add a 4th boat to the fleet!

$8K is a deal... http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif

[JW]

With a new interior and the options this boat has, $8k is a steal!

[Drex]

I agree, sharp looking boat. If it was an open bow I might be adding another Checkmate to my stable.

[fnshrmaster]

Jim,carpet and floor are solid and look great!Buy it!You got the green,its a good deal,heck I paid 500 more for it when I bought it in N.Dakota.You just dont find a mint Checmate 21 footer at that price range too often,plus the XRi runs like a swiss watch,never a problem for me,just add gas and oil and go have fun!Somebody should get the money together fast,Im considering it for myself!My wife would divorce me,but it sure would be nice to have matching boats! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[jrumon]

Kurt... I may just do that... http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/Eyecrazy.gif

Anyone know a good DIVORCE attorney??? http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/devil.gif

Here's my wife's "expressions" when I told her... http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sick.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/zx11pissed.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/groupee/forums/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/yell.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/brickwall.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/irked.gif

But hey... she'll get over it...MAYBE! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/surf.gif

[Kip Combs]

Thought i'd give you guys here first shot at this ...but it's going in the ohio area boat trader next week! Don't think it will last very long ! Just thought i would let you know!

[jgreen]

If some one would buy my pulse, I would be all over that, wrong time of year for selling used b
oats up in the great white north ! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/brickwall.gif 8k would take it today!

[jrumon]

Hey Kip... You might want to wait a week...

I'm just working on the wife for approvel on boat #4 in the fleet.
Price is right and hey... I like those Starflights!

If I don't grab it, I'm sure someone else here will!

Kip...just a few questions???
Is there a new pad under the deck to match the new interior???
Any canvas... cockpit cover or mooring cover???
How is condition under the deck...headliner, sides, carpet, etc?


I'll let you know by end of the week one way or the other...(if it's not gone to someone else first)...it WILL sell on this CHECKMATE Forum sight!!! Jim.

[Chris E]

Hey Jim:

A wise man once told me:

"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission"

Just buy it, she'll forgive you later!

[Kip Combs]

Jim, we'll put new pads under bow (didn't have any in it) ....headliner/carpet are in good shape....has both cockpit and mooring cover and a ski tow. Let me know !

[jrumon]

Kip... man, I just can't say so no to all that! Sounds like the plan to me... I'll send you a direct e-mail with some info to see if all this can happen. Thanks, Jim. http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

[jrumon]

Still trying to make the planets line up with KIP... and hammer out a few details. Unfortunatly, I can't phone out from work M-F 7am-6pm, so this E-mail back and forth is a slow process!!! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/brickwall.gif

[jrumon]

WOW..Is that the "planets all lined up"??? http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/Eyecrazy.gif

Looks like this one is being added to my fleet... Finally, another checkmate! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/xxrotflmao.gif

So, where is that 300PM Merc hiding??? http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sssh.gif Hmmmm... you never know... http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/devil.gif

[JUPITER PULSARE]

CONGRATS!!!!! THINK PINK IS A GOOD NAME FOR THE BOAT!! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[JW]

300PM, -OR- check out the Simon Super Mag 350!! Have you been following AlaskaStreamin's thread on Scream and Fly? Looks like Simon can supply a 350 MAG three liter for about the price of a mint used 300X..........

[Bruce]

Glad to hear things worked out, somehow I figured they would, once again, Kip and the entire Checkmate team has made another customer very Happy.

Second to None Guys !!

[fnshrmaster]

How does the boat look Jim?The deck fade looks gone in the pics,nice and shiney.I left a nice alpine amp in the boat but you have to supply the sub,I kept that.One 10 inch Dual voice coil sounds nice under the bow.I have a 19 Vengence for it if you are interested,works sweet for skiing and tubing,that 25 tempest wont do it.Let us see some pics in the driveway!Glad its gonna be a michigan boat,maybe we will cross paths on the lake sometime,that would be a cool picture being the same color scheme and all.Take care and congrats!

[fnshrmaster]

Jim,Is that bad boy home?

[jrumon]

Looks like 12-15-04 is the magic day (weather permitting)... Jim

[jrumon]

Picked the Starflight up today... Thanks again Kip!!! http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif

Boat looks great and interior is awesome! Towed nice coming home, now winterized and tucked away til spring... http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sleep.gif

Best part of the trip was all the EYE-CANDY at the plant!!! I will elaborate more later, but these boats are built with pride and patience... nice work CHECKMATE!!!

OH YEA>>>that new 2400 Pulsare? http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif

[merc245]

I,ll have to keep in eye out for you on the local lakes next summer. Is there any lake you might hit for a day. Or do you keep it at your cottage. merc245

[jrumon]

Merc245...
I usually use Cass lake or Orchard lake around home... most of the other time is up to the thumb area...however...I thinking some travel time and new spots are in order...where do you usually hang???

P.S. The '92 2.5L 200XRi will be getting my "magic touch"...a 4 hole CLE lower, mild build (245+HP) come spring (if a 300PM or 280 doesn't come along first)! What speeds are you getting with what motor/lower unit/prop???

[merc245]

If I don't put in on the river at trenton. I usally head west to bruin/halfmoon or whamlers/vinyard lakes.The family did alot of camping in that area. I do alot traveling in oakland county for the appraisal business. I often thought about going that way for a change.

When everthing was new and crisp. I would run 73/74 not gps #s. thats with cle and 21p lazor II at 7300/7400 rpms. I used that setup for watersking most the time.I have cmc jack and cmc 10in setback.when I installed the setback it didn't help the topend much but the leverage allowed me to carry 3 people near 70ish.
