Thanks for posting the pics Chris.

First, I see I had the date wrong on the camera. I purchased it in 2003...bout this time last year.

I don't have any pics of the cabin or cockpit. I plan on getting better pics this summer on the water.

Details....Well everything is in very good contion for an old boat. Cabin is the delux version with a fridge, sink, track lighting,stereo and "buildt in" porta potty. A real nice place to spend some quality time with the wife. http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

It has a Bravo 1 with stearn jack and nose cone. Now using a Hydromotive four blade prop. Also have a Mirage Plus 23P but have not tried it yet. Has trim tabs and swim deck....and the 4" Gill exhaust pipes out the back. Sounds sweet

The engine is a big question. I honestly don't know for sure what it is. The seller said it was a built 468 with about 500HP. He said I could call the engine builder for details and gave me his number. I call the builder and he says he remembers the project. The builder says they got rid of the 468 and started over with a tall deck bow tie block. He went on to say steel forged this and titanium that. Said it was around 500ci and dynoed at 565HP. Maybe someone on the board can help me ID this beast.

I have had it to 70MPH on the speedo B4 the wife was beating me on the back screaming "I don't like it...I don't like it!!! Skerd the chit out of her. I'm very sure there was more there.

I really do enjoy the boat...it's a great way to spend the day.
