Checkmate $200 - not sure on model

[atc250r]

Whats an Armstrong bracket? Is that the one where you can bolt an outboard to an I/o transom with no motor/drive ? Seen a Baja like that, tubular bracket.

I would love to tell you but I am no longer providing google answers as some members are offended by them.

We will have to see how and when the road trip works out.

If Spence needs a trailer to just get the boat out of where it is I'm sure I can come up with something and dump it in the yard here or at my cousin's property a few minutes away. My boat doesn't usually go away until November so you got time.

I think he has something lined up but if not I will take you up on that offer.

I'm going to grab it on Monday with my dads boat trailer. His boat is in the water until November, so we have plenty of time to figure out the transportation! Should be a fun project!! Bout time Dave

Looks like I need a remote start for my truck as I have losty spot in the garage this winter.

 

[atc250r]

WOOHOO! Congrats Dave!

 

[RNGRDVE]

Not celebrating yet, I will after Spencer has it at his house. Then I will know its a done deal followed by a year or two of resto work.

 

[atc250r]

I got lots of cheap beer. Its a celebration tonight for me either way!

 

[RNGRDVE]

I guess I need to do a google search on boat restoration.

Dave I got a nice 24" gil bracket that would look nice on the boat! We'll need to find a eggbeater(OB) for ya next!!

Yeah, well don't you dare post any of that info around here.

 

[Rob B]

Dave you don't need to do a google for boat restoration. Just everything opposite of what ginger said to do!! Hey guy use PL Premium and polyester resin.

Anything is possible Robbie, but the truth is I have always liked my engines in front of the stern.

I know there is a complete mercruser steering assembly that will make its way in there. Cheap might I add..... Install my IMCO stuff and he gets the old as payment. I am sure I will have my hands in the painting part of the project

Thanks Spencer... your help has been awesome. Hopefully it's still there monday. I look forward to meeting up with you!

John, be prepared... we might bring HUDY out with us!!!

Robbie, that trailer rental is going to be EXPENSIVE!!!!

You're going to be doing more than just paintingI don't have a clue what I'm getting myself into.

It's better that way, if anybody really knew what they were getting into, there would be a lot less restore threads! Having said that, don't be scared...it's not that hard, but it ain't easy either.

looks the same model boat I'll be picking for the Ranger later today

I am selling my 1987 Checkmate boat and LoadRite trailer. Complete drivetrain replaced less than 2 years ago. The boat has been used about 10 times since then. I have lost interest and no really have no time to enjoy it. The motor is a 4.3 Mercruiser with an Alpha-One outdrive, complete with a stainless steel prop. I also added thru-hull exhaust at the same time. The boat sounds GREAT!!!! The boat has a nice AM/FM 10 CD radio and comes with canvas top for storage, all lifevest's, etc.

 

[RNGRDVE]

Def. looks a lot more complete than the one I am getting. I needed something to keep me busy anyways, as I have lost interest in the custom truck market.
