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!
