After all of my (and dads and itllfli's) hard work - my boat is sold. The new owners are coming to pick it up today :(
Now - I'd like some opinions about a boat I'm thinking about. It's a 1983 25' Checkmate convincer. I went to look at it yesterday and it doesn't look like any other checkmate I've ever seen. Its got honey decks and navy sides (just like the older honey and navy donzis), teak cupholders, dash and cuddy doors. Its a beautiful boat. It needs new interior but that isn't a problem really. The stringers in the back have all been redone. I checked the ones in the front and they're solid
The ONLY thing I don't like about this boat is that it has an outboard on the back. Its 2000 Optimax 225 (I think - may be 250). The lower has under 100 hrs on it and the upper has under 4 hrs. The powerhead was rebuilt because of warranty issues and the guy never really got to use it because of wife and kids.
And the price is VERY right (8500 to 9000 I know I can get it for). What do you guys thinking?
