I recently purchased a 1987 Statlet with a MerCruiser 300 Tempest and Alpha 1. I believe I’m the 4th owner. The guy I bought it from told me the original owner was a friend of Checkmate CEO and had this motor specially fitted. He heard that from the guy he bought it from. According to original sales brochure, the Starlet was never offered with the 300 Tempest. I called Checkmate and was told they never built the boat, it’s over powered and could be liability. She’s a little heavy in the back end but not overpowered. If anyone is familiar with the story, reach out. Thanks!
