LOVE your Starflight, the color combo is beautiful, It looks clean and well kept.
How does it run with the 225?

[INXS]

Thanks for the posting Chris, Mates. The boat comes from a single owner from Conn. who used it 90% of the time in fresh water. It never sat in the water over night and was always wiped dry and covered after using. The former owner told me that its a custom Starflite that Checkmate used for boat shows. I guess that's why it has three colors? I would love to put on a 250 Yama but wouldn't like breaking up the color sceam. So I'll probably modify the motor up to 280 HP. It should run up near 80 with the boost in HP. The boat ran 71 on the speedometer with a 23" prop.I paid $7,500 for it last July and only had it out five times. Each time out everone that seen it said nice new Checkmate. They were shocked when I told them it's 15 yrs. old.

You're welcome. I tried cleaning up the second pic but it was too hard. The first one looks pretty good though. I put it in the boat of the month nomination thread. So good luck! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Great job Chris, thanks again.

GREAT looking boat! Congrats! If you wanted to repower, it would look really good with a black and red 300X :thumb:

Hey,Great looking Starflight! :thumb:

Its getting hard to find em as clean as that one is. It is a custom edition. I believe all custom editions were three color combos.Thats the way my Enforcer is.Good Luck with it.

Nice boat INXS Love to see the omc on the back. I heard some people talking about 3 colors means that the boat was customed made, is that true, if so my mate was custom then, that would be cool as heck. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif

What colors are your Enchanter? Its hard to tell from the pics. Also what color stripes are in your seats, The base color looks to be tan like mine but I have no stripe colors.

[HemiBee]

Nice ride! What's this about the three colors??? I have a 280 Convincor...White, Black with Red Stripes....

[Eriktheviking]

In the late 80's Checkmate brochure it states that the tri-colored models were "custom editions". http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif You got a Hemi Superbee?

Your Starflight looks great! On the lake we do a lot of boating on there is one with a 225 opti. It's an older man that has it and I've only seen it idling around the lake with all his older friends in it. It also looks brand new. Kinda of a waste if you ask me. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif I would like to see what she does wide open. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif
