1989, Well was a gen 5 454 HO wild solid roller, stainless headers, engine was in the boat when I got it a year ago and boat was a mess to say the least...have another 468 that I'm going to run, just wish I had more time to enjoy it....loved the way it handled and rode for the short time I ran it...Thanks Rob

Graphics look great, are they a decal package or painted on. Sorry to hear about the motor. Bigger is better.

LOOKS GOOD I LIKE IT.

WELL ONE GOOD THING ABOUT THE ENGINE IT WENT IN THE FALL INSTEAD OF THE SPRING. ALL MY PROBLEMS STARTED THE 2ND TIME OUT THIS YEAR. NOTHING IS BETTER THAN 95 DEGREES OUT IN THE SHADE SWEATING UNDER THE ENGINE HATCH OF A CONVINCOR TRYING TO KEEP GREASE OF YOUR WHITE SEATS AND YOUR WIFE HANDING YOU THE WRONG TOOLS. THATS A GOOD COMBO FOR A MELT DOWN. AND AT NIGHT WITH THE SHOP DOORS OPEN AND THE LIGHTS ON. I THINK THE BUGS THAT FLEW IN THIS YEAR ARE FROM AFRICA.

Wow looks great what is the interior like is it redone?

 

[ezstriper]

The graphics are my own...I have been in the signs/graphics business for over 20 years now..love doing boats !!!! and my own of course, we actually wrap them now...that has become real big...even some of the big builders are doing all white boats and wrapping them, they have their good and bad....but most are liking being able to change them after a few years...almost like buying a new boat !!!on my boat all of the sections are separate to make it easier in case they get damaged. on the interior, someone changed the ft bolsters, would rather have the originals, the back seat is original and I need to get a new one the winter, the sundeck I did re-do and added the scoop, thanks for the comments, Rob

Nice Job

I just purchased a 1984 Checkmate. I'm going to do some interior updates. Also do you know where I can order some Checkemate decals for the sides?
