    What Happened to the Thread/Category with all the Brochures??

    I am curious as to where the category, or thread topic with all the old Checkmate brochures went? I've been been kinda studying up on a couple certain models and wanted to check out the brochures. I'm kinda interested in the Convincor 220's or ZT240's as a newer upgrade from my Enchanter.

    Looks like an Exciter to me, Sportfires have a different windshield and deck. Cool boat tho, looks in solid shape!

    :welcome: !! I'm in the Finger lakes, my 'Mate is kept on Keuka Lake. If you are a trailer boater bring it down to Keuka sometime next season, there are several die-hard Checkmate guy's on the lake!! The 80/90's GTX's are one of my favorite boats period, they just look bad ass!!

    Looks like a 242 Sport, wish there was actually some info on the boat, and according to the listing it's only $18 dollars LOL :D. Gorgeous boat none the less.

    Wow, i can't believe that boat is for sale again so soon, it was just sold recently, i talked to the last owner. I've seen the boat out on Keuka this summer, now it's over the hill on Seneca lake. It was on display at our local mall boat show back in '08 from LimeLake Marine, i looked it over...

    Ugh... Anyone we know?

    Down in the comments it says the shifter boat was ripped and the guy turned off the battery so the bilge pump never kicked on. Doesn't look like the boat was treated to well to begin with, bottom looks nasty! Yup, no mention of sinking in the add, and at $9,000, someones gonna get ripped off....:(

    So I’m back

    Cool! My boat's running good, lake has been extremely crowded lately, i usually wait till the evening when it calms down to get it out! There's been quite a few nice Checkmates on the lake this season.

    Man 3 awesome 251's, it kills me that i don't have room for one of them!! That red/white 251 was for sale all summer last year, makes me wonder how legit the add may be since the boat has Missouri registration but is listed (last year too) just above Rochester NY. I noticed that since i looked...

    June 2020 Get together Keuka Lake

    Yeah i kinda saw that coming. A friend of mine bailed since it's barely going to be into the 60's, it'll be chilly on the water. Let's see what happens down the road, we'll be able to come up with something else i'm sure!

    14 years on this forum?!

    Tell me about it, 17 years for me next month!! I still remember finding this forum and couldn't believe there was one just for Checkmates! At the time i was looking at a Predictor with a 200hp Merc blackmax, guy wanted way to much for it thankfully. About a year later i found what i really...

    Rough running 350

    I'm gonna say firing order as well! I have a Merc 350 in my Enchanter, i had the exact same issue once years ago, turned out 2 wires were crossed, i heard its a fairly common mistake. Boat idled just fine and would come on plane ok but the more throttle the rougher it would run. Sounds like...
