    1988 Spectra 170 w/ Merc 150

    For sale in my neighborhood. No price on the sign. Hull shines nicely top and sides, doesn't look like it ever sat out uncovered, but dull in the aft lower where it sat in the water. Merc 150 appears to be a few years older. Jack plate but aluminum prop 🤔. Windshield on the starboard side...

    Looking for Spectra, Predictor, Enticer, Sportfire, Pulse, or O/B enforcer.

    There's a 1988 Spectra 170 with a Merc 150 (older than 1988) for sale by me if you're still looking a year later

    Cooperider?

    Barry has a YouTube channel, last I saw he moved into another shop last year but he doesn't post up many videos. I seem to have lost track of him

    Ladder Springs

    When I lost a spring on my 171 ladder years ago, I took the remaining spring to some mom and pop hardware stores and found a suitable replacement.

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas everyone! My daughter had a metal outline cutout made for me of my first Checkmate, the 1992 Pulse 171 with XR6. She's always so thoughtful!

    Going thru old pics, wonder where this one ended up

    It had the 4bbl 4.3. If I had kept it, would have been a perfect LS swap project boat. Less weight, twice the power!

    Persuader 183 that I enjoyed for a few years and sold to a guy in Oklahoma. Never saw it again.

    1992 checkmate pulse 171

    I recognize that boat ;-) My first 'Mate. Sure was a LOT of fun. I remember it sitting in the back room of Prindle Marine in Lawton Michigan from December '91 until we could pick it up and bring it home in the spring of '92. Seemed like forever! That's the boat in my thumbnail

    Newbie w/ 95 pulse open bow

    Just live with them, and don’t store it in the water or they’ll get worse

    Even More CL Finds!

    VERY interesting. I’m liking that original 81 Eluder, that’s the year I graduated HS. Not the best engine, but at this point all I care about is the sound and the show. Wonder if I could talk the ‘ol lady into a third boat…
