Checkmate

LET ME START BY LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I WILL DESCRIBE MY BOAT VERY ACCURATELY. THIS IS A 1996 CHECKMATE 253 CONVINCOR WITH ONLY 234 ORIGINAL HRS. POWERED BY A PERFECT RUNNING 502 MAG MPI BBC. THE ENG. RECIEVED A COMPLTE SERVICE IN AUGUST OF 2016 INCLUDING A NEW WATER PUMP AND ALL NEW FILTERS AND FLUIDS (MERCURY- MERCRUISER).ALL WORK PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED MERCURY TECHNICIAN. AN ELECTRIC ENG. OIL DRAIN PUMP WAS ADDED IN 2009 TO MAKE ALL OIL CHANGES EXTREMELY EASY AND REMOVE ALL OIL FROM OIL PAN. 1 NEW MARINE INTERSTATE GROUP 27 BATTERY WAS ALSO REPLACED DURING THE SERVICE. MANIFOLDS AND RISERS WERE REPLACED ON 9-24-2016 (MERCURY-MERCRUISER).EQUIPT WITH SILENT CHOICE EXHAUST FOR THE 1S WHO WANT TO GO QUIET AROUND THE DOCKS OR TAKE A NIGHT CRUISE. BRAVO 1 PROP HAS A 25 PITCH MIRAGE PROP PUSHING THE BOAT TO AN HONEST 70 MPH. THERE IS NO PLAY IN THE GIMBLE AND ALL BELLOWS WERE REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2015. I.E NO LEAKS. SHIFTS AND TURNS SMOOTHLY. DUAL RAM HYD. TRIM TABS. ALL COCKPIT INTERIOR IS ORIGINAL AND IN GREAT COND. INCLUDING SNAP IN CARPET. CABIN INTERIOR IS ALMOST AS NEW COND. SOUND SYSTEM INCLUDES 4 6X9 ROCKFORD FOSGATE AND 2 6.5 INCH SPEAKERS PUSHED BY A 400 WATT AMP.

DROP DOWN BOLSTERS FOR STANDING OR SITTING . THE BOAT WAS ALSO COMPLETELY DETAILED IN AUG. 2016. GEL COAT SHINES LIKE NEW. ALWAYS UNDER A COCKPIT COVER AND FULL BOAT COVER ALONG WHEN NOT IN USE, THIS BOAT HAS NEVER BEEN LEFT IN THE WATER OVERNIGHT. NOW FOR THE CONS, THE GRIP TAPE ON THE ALUMINUM SWIM PLATFORM IS STARTING TO ROLL UP IN SOME AREAS. THE WINDOW TINT HAS SEVERAL AREAS THAT HAVE STARTED TO LOOSEN UP AND THERE ARE 4 VERY SMALL GEL COAT CHIPS NEAR THE FUEL FILL AREA. I DO MEAN SMALL. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A TURN KEY GO FAST BOAT AT A VERY GOOD PRICE, THEN THIS IS THE 1 FOR YOU. I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE . THE TRAILER IS READY TO ROLL ANYWHERE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALL 4 TIRES WERE REPLACED IN DEC. 2015. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. NO TRADES OR LOW BALL OFFERS. I HAVE PRICED IT RIGHT FOR ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. ONLY REASON FOR SELLING IS THAT IM MOVING UP IN CLASS. BOAT HAS ONLY BEEN IN SALTWATER 4 TIMES IT ENTIRE LIFE. IF YOU NEED TRANSPORT I CAN HELP WITH A VERY RELIABLE TRANSPORT FOR ABOUT 1.00 PER MILE 1 WAY. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR FUNDS ARE IN PLACE BEFORE BIDDING. YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANOTHER CHECKMATE AS NICE AS MINE WITH EVERYTHING WORKING PROPERLY AND COND. WITH THESE LOW HRS.phone mike KEYWORDS FOUNTAIN,BAJA, SCARAB, DONZI, NORTECH, SKATER, FORMULA, NORDIC, VELOCITY.
