Beautiful rig top to bottom. I saw it last spring. Shannon kept it inside and it was a hotty, as you can tell. My wife walked around to the side and saw "300" on the engine and walked back out. Funny. I still think about that boat, but I just couldn't pass up the deal
I had made before I saw it. The thought of 85+ eats at my soul!!

I just read that boat test from Powerboat Mag. The article is a positive review of the Pulsare, but sometimes I wonder if those guys at Powerboat even know what they are doing. They mentioned that there was too much steering torque. What? That's the way outboards are, even if you have hydraulic steering you still get a certain amount of steering pull. When you have that motor up high, there aint much you can do about it. The Pulsare is one of the best cornering hulls made and is great for slaloms. Anyone who disagrees with that, knows not what they are talking about.
And what's this about running only 5200 rpms? Wouldn't the throttle go all the way down? Did they bother to adjust the jack?

They go through the engines they take in and get them ready for sale. I'm sure they will give you the ECM data, compression #'s etc.
It's a risk to buy something without seeing it
first, but they may give a warranty and back it up. If your like me, there isn't a hi-performance dealer within a days drive, so there really aren't many options. I've been eyeballing the 300 SuperMag on there. I don't think I'll see a 300X within a reasonable price until Merc comes up with something to top it!
My local dealer (Hurst) is also very pricey. I am not sure if they sell hi-performance Mercs or many used ones... How is Ricks Marine for this XSV? Can you help us here...

The guy to talk to at Rick's Marine would be Terry. He knows alot about his own clients motors and will be completely honest. In my experiences, he has told me certain things about certain people and their dumb a$$ modifications to tinker and tweak. Basicaly he will advise you if he thinks it is a good motor or not. When I was shopping for both my boats he knew the complete history of both boats and motors. He also advised me to stay away from certain peoples boats and motors.
I have no idea if they have any V6 Mercury's for sale. I can call Terry if you like.

JW says the 225 Promax on his Pulsare is an ok motor, but it's a real gas hog and it's pretty noisy, after 45 minutes of running his ears get pretty sore, and you have to run higher octane fuel in it, which most marina's don't sell, the Optimax uses 87 octane.. An optimax would be a better motor for this boat for all around use. I guess I should let you guys know that I have decided against buying JW's Pulsare because of the Promax. I think he is going to keep it, if you read some of his posts you'll see he's getting a 10" jack plate for it, I don't blame for keeping it, it's a real beauty.
I must say that since the late 80's, when I got into the boating business, now out of it, I have NEVER heard of anyone saying no to a Pro Max. Man, we could not put enough on boats. That was the motor! Down here, that is all the marinas sell, premium. Sorry, no offense, I still don't understand Canadas obsession with Optimax. Dealers down here for the most part, stay away from them.
Malibu
03-20-2003, 06:47 PM
Hey Bill, I was all set to buy JW's Pulsare, I didn't know the difference between a Promax or an Optimax. I wanted the promax, but after several long emails between me and JW, he's the one that told me the optimax would be a better motor for the type of boating I do, all day riding on a chain of big lakes up here. He basically said this motor would eat me alive in gas and give me a major headache, I have to believe the the guy that owns it...Trust me it was a hard decision to say I didn't want it.

I THINK CANADA IS INTO THE OPTIMAX BECAUSE OF GAS PRICES. ARENT THEY WAY HIGHER IN CANADA COMPARED TO THE US? HUGE DIFFERENCE IN GAS MILEAGE BETWEEN A 225 PROMAX AND A 225 OPTIMAX. OPTIMAX HAS A LONG WARRANTY NOW TOO, THANKS TO THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS OPTIMAX PROBLEMS. EVINRUDE FICHT MOTOR GOOD GAS MILEAGE TOO, AND SUPER LONG WARRANTY NOW BECAUSE OF FIRST FEW YEARS OF TROUBLE. EVINRUDE AT 7 YEARS NOW.
ANYWAY, THIS IS A GOOD DEAL ON THIS PULSARE. $10200 IS ABOUT HALF OFF A NEW ONE
I am the one who knows all!

03-20-2003, 07:14 PM
Malibu, sorry to hear about your boat situation. I will keep searching for Pulsares for you.
Zeus, the marina I fill up at in the summer had their gas priced at 83.9 cents per litre. My most expensive fill up last year was $112.00! I am not complaining though...I usually do not spend more than $1000 all summer.
It seems that dealers like to push the Optimax's fuel economy around here. I have been told by several people that the Promax is more of a WOT motor and not really suited for touring and watersports. Never owned a Promax so what do I know but what people tell me!!
All I can say is that our politicians are going to make our summer a little more expensive. We will have to dig deeper into our wallets! http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/zx11pissed.gif

03-20-2003, 08:13 PM
XSV- Thanks for keeping an eye out for me, I would consider SCT's Pulsare, but I'd be in the same situation as Z06, needing a motor. I did find a 2001 200hp Optimax demo at a dealer in Ontario for around $13,000 with full warranty, so if I bought SCT's for around $10,000 US that's around $15,000 CAN, plus the Optimax at $13,000, that's $28,000 plus 15% tax its gonna be around $32,200 CAN. As for a Promax being used for skiing and tubing, JW does use his for that, but he did say at low speeds (just around planning) the temperature gauge rises a lot. As for the price of gas up here, the price per litre converts to around $3.00-$4.00 per US gallon depending on what octane you use. So Zeus is probably right they may sell more Optimax's up here because of the price of gas, and I'm sure it's also to keep all of our beautiful lakes clean too, since the Optimax has 82% less emission than a regular motor and is 45% more fuel efficient than a regualar EFI, and I'm sure a Promax burns more gas than a regular EFI.
Sounds to me like JW really did not want to sell the boat http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/sssh.gif Too bad, that is an awesome packege. Did JW say what temp goes up, exhaust or water. That is not normal, should be fixed. Anyway... Malibu, I wish you luck in finding a boat, the Pulsare is awesome with anything 225 and up. To me, it is a bit of a snoozer with a 200. The only thing I don't like about published fuel consumption is that it is done under "ideal" conditions. Who ever runs under ideal conditions. If you are really worried about fuel consumption, get a honda 225 four stroke and forget the 2 strokes all together http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/bounce.gif
Malibu
03-20-2003, 08:35 PM
Bill, thanks I'll keep looking. No Honda's for me, gotta be a Merc. I'm not too concerned about fuel consumption (I just sold a boat with V8) I just don't want one that's overly thirsty. I assuming JW means water temp. I'll keep in mind what you said about a Pulsare with a 225 over a 200, wasn't sure how much 25 horses would make.
The low speed temp rise area is just before you push the boat over onto plane, when it's at the very heaviest load. All motors get hotter there, the performance series maybe more so because of the higher port timing. This motor is fantastic for skiing with the 23" prop. You make up for less low-end torque with higher RPM props. I have a hole-shot equal to a Malibu outboard ski boat (we've drag raced http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif). But fantastic for ski work with a performance series engine equals gas hog. A perfectly set up 2.5 liter 225 Promax will be faster than a perfectly set up 225 Optimax. The Promax weighs over 100 pounds less than the Opti, and makes more horsepower at much higher rpm.
If I were buying this boat new and money was no object for the purchase, but costs after purchase were important (and I don't see gas getting any cheaper) then I'd get this same boat with the 250 Optimax and Torquemaster lower unit. What a combo........ http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif
Since we are keeping this boat, I'm ordering a bow cover, a 10" jack plate, a new set of plastic reeds, an oil injection block-off kit, and then possibly a higher pitched prop. I'm gonna see what this rig will run when it's switched from great ski boat to top end boat.......... http://www.checkmate-boats.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I like the OptiMax. Like I have said before, I have seen proof that it was faster then the 225 ProMax. I'd probably get one if I could ever afford a new Pulare. For now, I can dream and think about something more affordable. Hey XSV, whats this CHeckmate he has? What are the details?

JW, when I read Malibu's post, I took the temp thing as it might be a concern or more than normal. Of course I know that motors change temperature depending on the amount and pressure of water coming in, that is why it is not recommended to run motors on a hose because of the possibility of low water pressure which will generate heat.

I would prefer a 225hp.
I always get a chuckle when people compare gas consumption. When I put those precious dollars into my tank I forget about them as soon as the boat leaves the marina.

If I was buying a new Pulsare I'd pick an Opti. Yes is weighs more....but the weight seems to help with bow lift, which is a good thing. It has an excellent warranty, cruises better, and gets better gas mileage. Yes the Promax properly set up will be faster. But I think the Opti is probably an all round better motor in my opinion. Although probably just not as much fun or impressive as the Promax. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gif

It seems us Canadians like the Opti. A 300X would be my choice over the Opti, but all around I like the 225 Opti for most of the exact reasons Chris mentioned. I like the new 250XS alot too! But its kinda expensive...

Hi Guys,
I appreciate all of the nice words about my boat......but please lets keep your comments to my boat ad.
Thanks,
SCT
Sorry about that. One person starts something (usually me) and it derails the whole thread from the intended topic. I think I'll watch myself. Sorry and AMAZING Pulsare. I wish I could buy that boat.

Update: The boat and trailer will be moved from North Carolina to to the Checkmate factory (Bucyrus, Ohio) sometime in early April. I'm going to have a few small updates done to the boat- new vinyl rub rail insert, paint and speckle the bilge, have the boat professionally buffed, and have the surge brakes repaired at C-Hawk Trailers (also in Bucyrus). If anyone is interested in looking at the boat it will be in Ohio. Just contact me and i can make arrangements for you to llok at the boats.
Thanx-
