ENFORCER24 · 02-02-2009, 09:15 AM

i'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this boat , its in my budget and seems to be in average condition for its age
its on ebay , and the seller has 151 pos. , 24 of which are from sales , and at least half those are boat sales.
although it doesnt seem like he's into performance boats
but the price is right , and i wanna make sure no one has had a bad time with him.

That boat has been on there a long time. That's all I know.

yea , it has been re-listed and re-listed for at least a year
its not the best selling color scheme , and interior is very dated , but if it runs and is not rotted out i would say its worth 10k
i was hoping in the last year that its been on ebay someone might have taken a look at it , 30k members here its a good chance

Boat has ben for sale forever, but I have never seen it priced that low. Has to be a buy at 10K if it runs.

Good Luck.

Sad to see your going with outboards...............

its a hard decision , but weighing all the pro's and cons , the only 3 cons are the roar of a 454 , which i love , the lack of bolt on HP upgrades , and the oil you either have to keep in the lube tank or mix with your gas
theres a list of pro's 3 times as long , first of which is a 70 mph boat that burns half the fuel of the same size twin 454 boat , that can troll into a beach with 18 inches of water , for 10k , i'm having a hard time finding reasons not to buy it

You should have asked about that boat over on www.checkmate-boats.com we've been joking about taking up a collection and buying the boat, so we can burn it. We're just sick of seeing it on ebay. Its been on ebay forever, his price has finally come down to within reason, and it seems to be getting cleaner in the pictures. So he's been putting some work into it. Probably a great boat at 10,000 but a lousy boat at his original price, lol, its been so long I forgot what it was.
He is right it is a rare one, they've updated the design for it over the years.

This boat needs a home, if I had the cash, well I'd still try to get it for less, but thats me.

i have talked to him , and the price now includes the trailer @ 10k , this is all the play money i have at the moment , so its a good deal , and very likely gonna be purchased this coming weekend by myself.

Heck, you should have taken up a collection from people who would have paid to get it off eBay!

Let us know how it turns out.
