I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon though...

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!

Thanks for the input guys.It looks like i'll be upgrading by the end of the season.I'm going to keep the trimate though.I'll take it up to the lake and leave it there for the whole family to use.

 

[Shameless]

Cool, gotta love two mates in the Family. Here is a though, head up to the Checkmate redevous, and I am sure Rick will send you home with a new one. Also, JW has a gorgeous 1195 Pulsare open bow W/ a Pro Max 225 onit that is advertised for a very reasonable price.

 

[Z06]

Yeah... I am probably of out that competition as I am getting a new car. Not too sure yet... I may still be able to get a boat... Can always dream...

You are starting to sound like me, SWEET... I wonder who is closer to getting one, you I think... Maybe I'll just drop by sometime and take a Pulsare out!

Any time your down this way stop in and we'll hit the water.

I just got a mesage frommike colbs at check mate my trimate is rated at 150hp. He is sending me the correct id plate so i wont have any trouble with the dnr. Now all i need is a 150 merc for the back

 

[Z06]

Thanks... This summer I have plans to go all over the place. Different Checkmate dealers, Douglas Marine, and maybe a few of you guys places... Maybe some people can come over on the Rideau...

Hey when youre in the states a guy down the road has a starflight sitting in his back yard he'll let go for 4500. usit has a johnyrude 225 on it. just a thought as it's not advertized. i would like it but i need a open bow

 

[Z06]

Whats the condition of it though? 4500 seems low but I'd take it if its good...

[bdusted440]

It's black and silver its faded due to being stored out side i think. it is supposed to run good. the interior is going to need replacing in a few years. when he uncovers it i'll take some pics and e mail them to you

 

[Z06]

Thanks man. With getting some new cars, a Pulsare might be out of reach so something smaller and less $ would be in the plans
