1977 Checkmate gets a makeover!
 

1977 CheckMate Convincer Resto & Upgrade.. We recently finished this boat up. We had refinished the exterior, replaced carpeting, fabricated a new windshield, freshened up the dash with new upgraded custom Livorsi gauges & more. Also while in the shop we had put some more bark in the bilge with a new Merc 383 Mag Mpi that we custom enhanced along with a Bravo one Xr -2 shorty. For added control we rigged a full internal hydraulic steering system and added some large K planes on the outside.. The boat went from a bout a best top end of 60mph non gps to now a 70mph gps under good conditions now. The boat is a sweet retro ride with keep you in your seat accelleration.. Also there are whispers of us adding some boost for more speed with a custom Whipple kit..

Good looking old school rig.

Nice Job!!!

I have a 1978 just like that. Any idea where I can get a windshield? The plexiglass (or whatever it is) is cracked and sunbaked.

I can get / fabricate them. We made the new panels for the windshield in this post. They are a real pain in the azz to do & install.. If you are interested you can give me a shout.. Jamie
