All good suggestions. Thanks. The search continues and It's fun to look at all the options out there.

There are tons of clean, old, fresh water, single IO Checkmates, less 28’s but are out there, and newer 30’s.
Dont listen to the bay sayers either. Huge bang for the bucket and near bullet proof. Im on my 3rd, an ‘87!, and no structural issues w/any. |
29' Formula on here classifieds
|
I have a clean 28 Pantera with a single if your interested
|
Easy to get greedy.
88 30 Checkmate with twins for 17k. 1991 21 Scarab with 383 and whipple for 17k. 2010 30 Checkmate for 27....I think it's too much with no trailer I'm beginning to drive myself crazy!! |
Buy as new as your budget will allow, older boats are hard to get insured

Always check the listing dates on that website, they’re not good at deleting old ads.
That one is from 2012. 🙂 RR |
