I have been looking for years and decided this was the best fit for meand my family. She is not that fast (yet) but she is pretty solid with under 300 hours.

Peace,
Rob

looks very nice, good luck . most likely see you in northeast , i like checkmates . they are a good boat, im on my 5th new mate . they seem to have a pretty loyal following and i never really heard anything bad about them, other than a few minor things. for the price its a solid boat.

Thanks everyone, Is a '96 253 with a 454 Mag carb. motor 297 hours. Not that fast so speed is nothing to brag about but it is very clean and solid, passed the survey with flying colors. Did the sea trial on December 1st and had a blast!

Got the call Friday the boat was ready to come home (just intime for the huge snow storm). I huslted off work and borught her home, snap a few quick photos and tarped her up real good for the storm. I'll down load pics of the storm later however the tarp worked great. I still need to get the cuchions & batteries out but I was pressed for time to get her covered for the storm. Come on Spring!!! :drink:

Peace,
Rob
