I purchased my Checkmate new in 1997. After hearing too many comments about the "pink boat" and trying to tell everyone it's RASBERRY, I decided to make some changes.
A local sign shop made the decal to cover up the "pink". I tried to keep the blue but the lines wouldn't match up between the colors so we covered up both colors.
I had the gauge bezels done in the same gray color.
Seat upholstery was done by someone local and even had the Checkmate horse embroidered into the back of the seats.
I installed a tv monitor in the cabin to watch videos or viewing pictures you just took. Games too.
I also added a flush mount LED bow light. As you can see we ordered the boat without sst bow rails and put in pop up cleats.
Entire project was less than $1800. Quite a change from the day I bought her.
