    1987 Checkmate Sportfire, nice hull blown motor

    As I said, make an offer please. You can do it through PM. I am right next to Plymouth, Massachusetts. Also, I would prefer to sell this thing whole so preference will be given to those who are willing to make a deal on the whole thing. If I end up having to part out the boat I will probably...

    1987 Checkmate Sportfire, nice hull blown motor

    No, it started doing the same thing it has been doing all along again. The mechanic said that chunks of aluminum were getting caught in the reeds and that was causing the bogging issue. I will part this out, but I would rather sell it whole, so I am going to try that first. I can't even look...

    What's wrong part II

    That's funny that your number came up as 51.2. Into the "wind" (there was a slight headwind) it was sticking at 51.2 and the other direction we got it up to 52. Thanks for the calc. It's nice to know what the gear ratio is!

    What's wrong part II

    Happy Ending - without the massage I wasn't even going to post this because I didn't want to fan any more flames than there already have been, but then I though about the fact that maybe someone else might run into a problem like this where everything is an unknown and hopefully my experience...

    What's wrong part II

    I was ready to let it go here: http://checkmate-boats.com/forums/showpost.php?p=414841&postcount=41 And then you told me I needed a new engine!! I think you are missing the point. I can't GO normally from a stop. Again, nothing to do with skiing (YET). I haven't gotten to the point of...

    What's wrong part II

    1- It was not until we had agreed to meet to make the trade that you told me that it wasn't working, that's last minute to me. Without the ground, the trim will not work. The ground was not there. Not even remnants of it. 2- I didn't say that the jackplate didn't work, I said it was missing...
