I finally got a chance to take some decent pictures of a freshly washed Checkmate. This is our 1989 exciter model that we purchased in the fall of 2003.Originally it had a 225 carburetted Mercury, but last summer, the ignitor unit failed and a new one could not be obtained. We purchased a newer Merc. EFI and though it is stickered with 200 hp. decals it is a 225 hp. the previous owner was a bass fisherman. So now we have to start prop testing all over.

Just resize them to 640 pixels wide and less than 125K and you'll be good to go. :)

If you have Windows XP, this is a good program.

Matt, i've seen this boat in person, and pristine doesn't come close to describing the condition of this boat. it's awsome!

Hey I would love to see more pictures of this boat or anyone that has an Exciter. I have not seen much here on this forum with anyone that has one. I am really considering buying a 79 Exciter this weekend and would love to see pictures of anyone else that has one. Also, the current boat has a 150hp Merc and I was thinking of going with a 200hp or 225 hp Merc. On this boat, can anyone give me an idea of what the top speed would be with the new set up? Also, if anyone has a used 200 or 225 motor for sale let me know. There is a guy in Florida that can sell me a rebuilt 96' 200 2.5 Merc for $3,500 and I was not sure if this was too much. I have another guy locally that has a 200 Merc, but I am waiting for him to give me a price.
