    1979 16' Checkmate Trimate II w/ Trailer 4 sale - $800 (Northern NJ)

    Just wanted to update those interested that I do NOT have a title for the trailer, only for the boat. I don't believe NJ provides titles on trailers, only homemade ones. For that reason, I will include a copy of my NJ trailer registration as proof that it went through registration. Thanks

    Evinrude Engine Upgrade

    Bill/wired Thanks for this awesome advice. This boat and motor has been good to me, as well as the previous owners. It seems to me that these heads and block for that matter has never been cracked open. 30+ years this motor has been a workhorse. I would hate to abandon her now, at the time she...

    Bilge Pump Install Project

    what is keeping you from doing so? is this a risky procedure? also, where exactly is your pump located? do i need to drill it to a board that will be glued to the bottom or is it a double hull that i can just drill the pump onto? thanks!
