So, I've had this boat for going on 4 years now. I bought it obviously to have loads of fun with it.
When I bought it, I had the starter and impeller replaced. I bought it as a project b/c it needed a new interior, but I was rearing to go, had a wad of money in my pocket, and a dream of blasting across the lake in my water-rocket.
Well, reality hit, the pocket went dry, and now three years later I'm at the same point I was back then. Over the years I've done some work here and there.
Last year I made a promise to myself to get it on the water next (this) season. Well, now I'm breaking yet another promise I made myself.
Monday (3/15) I'm going first to an ultrasound, then taking a 2 hr. trip to pick up the engagement ring, then coming back just in time to get to the lawyers office to sign the closing papers on the house that my (future) wife and I are buying.
(I'm VERY happy about all of that, especially as this is my first, and life could'nt get any better in that department.)
So, now, with a baby on the way, and the heavy mortgage payment, I'm finding myself in the position to sell the check.
Here's what you get:
EZ-Loader trailer (single axle)
'87 Checkmate Ambassador (19'6")
I/O Chevy 350 w/Mercruiser O/D.
Newly redone interior (framing, upholstery, and padding.) all done by yours truly.
All the teak is brand new or newly refinished.
New "CHECKMATE" decals direct from checkmate that are still not installed.
Blue/White
Everything on this boat is solid, however, it's been aflicted by the common problem of the checks of this vintage... ...the tiny-blistered hull.
I'm not sure what to ask, so make a fair offer and chances are it's yours.
