2800SX Outboard/Twin Merc 225's
I can't believe I'm listing this but I just can't justify owning two boats with my limited time off. I am open to legitimate offers. Do your homework before leaving me a pm. Research what others are spending on their 2800 builds. There has been an enormous amount of work on this boat: new stringers, new fuel tank, new floor, new bulkheads, new cabin, new carpet, new headliner, new cockpit, new Longcoin flooring, new drop out bolsters, new marine stereo, new bi-fold cabin door, new Led lighting, speaker/storage pods, new combing panels, new shift/throttle cables, new UFlex front ram steering, 2012 WebOn aluminum I beam trailer, twin Mercury 3.0L 225 Offshore motors with low hours, Gill Marine 24" race brackets, 7/8" thick t6061 aluminum motor tie plate, DAH worked Mercury Choppers, etc. etc.

Good luck Jup. I just saw an old 28 Apache for sale @$117k . Maybe post it next to that badboy lol. Seriously though you have really taken your boat to the next level.

Every person who's contacted me is either in the process of selling their own boat or wants to trade. I was trying to avoid having two boats but at this time I would consider smaller single motor trades: cats (Talons, STV, etc), Pulsare 2100's, Starflites, Pulsare 2400's, Enforcers, maybe even a Center Console to take my dogs out!! Whatcha got?? I could even break up the package and keep my power....

My current Allison is a XTB21, that went through a complete resto at the Allison factory. New Allison hydraulic steering, interior, completely rewired. New lowrance electronics, gps speedo, triple new batteries & all new plumbing, pumps. A 225 offshore promax was sourced, very low hour. New tandem trailer.
The boat was owned by Darris Allison's brother in law. Darris calls it the 2014 XTB, which is also his favorite hull. (It handles the rough well and is very forgiving) Its like a time capsule. Runs 86 fully loaded with a 27 SRX. I'm not really looking to sell it, however I recently was looking for my old GTX I bought from Kip Combs (missed it by a few weeks) and saw your boat for sale. I remember following the thread when you found that hull. Always loved the outboard bigger Checkmates.
Does that boat show much fade? (Typical Florida wear?) Hows the interior, floor and transom? Motors run good?
