There's a 1995 253 for sale on the lakestclair.net board that has a brand new 525 in it. It says supercharged 502 w/90 day warranty or something. If your friend is intrested. He's asking 33K, I dont know the guy, or the boat, but here is his link to pic's of it on boat trader. There is a buy/sell forum that you could ask him some questions about it. Personally I havent really been in too many checkmates, but I like them, nice looking boats. I had a little 12 footer when I was a kid, and I've only rode on a newer 29 with twin 454 mags, seemed like it was built well though, but man did the nose go SKY HIGH while getting up on plane.
