Checkmate Trimate IV

Ultra rare & immaculate '79 Checkmate Trimate IV. Sparkle Blue

& Silver Metalflake Original Paint, Original Carpet & Gray Vinyl

Interior. She's a time machine ready to take you back to the shameless

disco era while you crank up the Donna Summer on the pair of 10" speakers & hit the water at

50mph. She's powered by a Mercruiser 470 aluminum block 4cyl with Ford

460 head and cranks out 170HP and 225 Ft lbs of torque. With the

stainless stiletto prop she ran 50MPH with 2 aboard and a full tank of

gas. She's equipped with the upgraded 4in heat exchanger and runs cool

even on the hottest days in the warmest water. I bought from the 2nd owner up in Ohio & she's spent her whole

life in the garage when not on the Ohio River. She's mechanically

perfect- Just completed service, lower unit oil, impeller, engine oil

change, electronic ignition upgrade, & high voltage coil, new

driveshaft & U-joint, gimble bearing, both bellows, fuel lines, water

separator, and trim pump seal kit. She's been in salt water exactly

twice & had a full flush and washdown with Salt-Away immediately

afterward. The original Thorobred trailer is in super shape and completely road worthy! She's got new bearings & lights and is ready to go--I trailered her all the way from Ohio to Florida behind my Land Cruiser & barely noticed that she was back there.

These little Checkmates were rare and expensive costing $8,350 back in 1979 - About the same at a '79 Trans AM & even cooler than James Bond & his Glastron GT!If you have any questions- please call before bidding- phone
