New Member and My '68 Checkmate V131

Mercury650XS

New member
Boat was known about for 6-8 years but previous owner did not want to sell it to just anone, as this was Fred Kiekhaefer's boat. Being a retired Merc employee (42) years, he sold to me and I have restored it, and added the Mercury 650XS for power. Motor is equipped with the rare lightweight race trim system. Motor is approx. 90 hp @7600 RPM. I'll add photos as soon as I figure out how!
