New member and new to boating with 1978 mate!

[Wildman78]

Hi everyone I am new to this forum and new to the boating community. I live in Ny and just recently purchased my 1st boat and it is a 1978 checkmate. I do not know what the model it so i sent the HIN to checkmate and they tell me it is a skimate II but it looks identical to a enchanter w/o the windshiend. It's just about 20 feet long and has a 200hp blackmax outboard. Any hel would be greatly appreciated. When the weather clears up here in ny i'll be sure to post some pics for you all

Congrats on the new boat. We love to see pictures here. Check out the Showroom. The 1978 Brochure is in there. See if you spot your mate.

The skimate is a cool boat. I think its lighter and faster than an enchanter....

Hi 78 and http://checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/welcome.gifon board. Get some pics posted so we can check it out. Look at the 1986 boats in the showroom and you will see the modern style 20'1"Skimate rated for max 200 hp. I think the older style skimate can be found in the 1976 showroom but it's not the 20' it's the 16'3" skimate. If you look at the last page of 1976 showroom you will see a few boats lined up along a beach. The first boat in the line is a blue and silver old school Skimate, cool boat http://www.checkmate-boats.com/graemlins/thumb.gif
