as much as it kills me to pass on this boat the gf is insiting on a bowrider(whole reason i said i wanted a new boat) i hate to see someone pass this deal up he sent me pics im not sure how id post then but the add is in (ablboats.com) The man was very open about anything it may need seems definatley like a straight shooter , i almost hate to post this in here becouse i then know itll be gone but if anyone was to get it id love to see pics of it.

I found it. In Washington state right?

I looked at all the Checkmates on ABL, and BOY are a few of those OVERPRICED!! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
Some good deals too, but there's several people out there that dont really want to sell their boat

I saw the ad and I am pretty interested in it. I live in Vancouver Canada, so CM's are VERY hard to find. What do you guys think of the price? What should I be concerned about (soft floor, low compression motor etc) with a Checkmate of this vintage? Looks decent in the photos....

Here is the link so you don't need to sift through all of the boats.

Might need repainted, or a serious polishing job. Other than that she looks great.

The interior looks to be in great condition and the motor looks pretty good. THe listing says that the Condition is: "excellent". But I would agree with coop that it looks like it could use a good buff job. If the boat is as good as it looks in the pictures, and if hull is solid I would say its a decent deal.

If this boat has a solid floor and transom, it is worth twice the asking price! I don't think you will ever find a better deal that close to home. 225 Yamaha is a great motor too. The gelcoat is not too far gone to be able to bring back to life if done properly.
