wow, makes me wish i was not so far into my promax/ 21footer idea. that would make a great 2nd boat for going out when the family wants to stay home. it is a thrill to be in.

Someone from the board should pick this up! Great rig for a awesome price!

I hope your not done w/ boating altogether. Get settled in at your new place and start saving up for a Superboat

WOW - it's the total opposite direction I should be taking (need a bigger, smoother boat) - but it's tempting.

I'll ask around down here (Brighton -Novi area) and see if there's a taker. My old boss has an '87 checkmate IO BR (not sure what) that he got as a second boat. His brother has a couple of pickleforks too so someone will want that for $3500.

that boat is very good looking some one needs to buy it at that price if it hasnt already . that is like steeling or something

Sorry to hear your selling the boat. What an awesome ride. Good luck with the move. They are a pain, but worth it in the end.

 

[Great East Predictor]

Good luck with the sale...that's a great price. Hopefully someone on the board picks it up.

I hate to say it, but the boat has been sold. I sadly watched as it pulled away this evening. They guys got themselves a good running boat, I am sure they will be on the site soon, I told them about it.

Darn!!! I would of bought it! Hey guys, I have not been on here in a while, but I started a Checkmate collection last year and would of loved to add that one to my collection. I guess my love for Checkmates continues to grow and I think having more then 1 now has turned into a new hobby for me. I'll try to get back on here soon and post some pictures of my collection. For those interested in what I picked up last year, here goes:

1978 Jetmate w/460 - Metalflake blue - All original including original seats -gelcoat not so good

1979 Exciter w/150 Merc - Metalflake black - All original including original seats - gelcoat excellent

1988 Predictor w/115 Suzuki - Metalflake black - All original including original seats - gelcoat good to excellent

and my latest addition outside the Checkmate family:

1983 Baja SS 16' w/140 Evinrude - Metalflake black - Boat completely redone with a professionally done clear coat over the gelcoat, new seats, new carpet, custom paint on engine cowl, and new ski pole. I looked for this model for a long time and had the hardest time trying to find one and in this nice of shape.

Happy boating to all this year and hopefully I get a chance to meet up with some of you this summer!

You should post some pics of your Checkmate collection here, and the Baja over on Chris's other site www.endlessboating.com there is a section for Baja's over there. Hey, I had a Baja SS 16' at one time too, in fact I still have the hull.
