CHECKMATE VISION 221

NO RESERVE AUCTION1988 CHECKMATE VISION 221 HULL ONLY (TITLE IN HAND) WITH TRAILER (NO PAPERWORK) ,

NO ENGINE, OUTDRIVE OR TRANSOM ASSEMBLY.

THIS BOAT IS IN NEED OF A COMPLETE RESTORATION !HERE IS THE STORY, I BOUGHT THE BOAT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WITH PLANS OF RESTORING IT. THIS WOULD BE MY FORTH CHECKMATE RESTORATION,PREVIOUS PROJECTS 1985 AMBASSADOR, 1987 CONVINCOR AND 1987 PLAYMATE. I LOVE CHECKMATES AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROJECT, BUT RECENT HEALTH ISSUES HAVE MADE THAT IMPOSSIBLE ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

PLUS I STILL HAVE MY 25' CHECKMATE CONVINCOR GTX TO USE (1ST PHOTO)HULL CONDITIONTHE BOAT HAD SAT OUTSIDE FOR A FEW YEARS WITHOUT BEING WINTERIZED, THE 454'S BLOCK WAS CRACKED AS WAS THE BRAVO OUT DRIVE . EVERY ACCESSORY WAS BEYOND REPAIR AND ALL OF IT WAS SCRAPED. THE FUEL TANK, STEERING, WIRING HARNESS, DECK LIGHTS, HARDWARE, ETC ARE STILL THERE.

I STARTED TO REMOVE THE FLOOR AND FOAM BEFORE I GOT SICK. AGAIN NEEDS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT. THE SMALL STRINGERS THAT POSITION THE FUEL TANK ARE NO GOOD, THE REAR BIG ENGINE STRINGERS LOOK INTACT BUT CONDITION UNKNOWN. TRANSOM SEEMS OK, FRONT SEATS AND PEDESTALS ARE THERE, POOR CONDITION BUT COMPLETE, REAR SEAT BOTTOM IS GONE, WINDSHIELD IS COMPLETE. IF YOU HAVE MECHANICAL SKILLS NONE OF THIS IS A BIG DEAL, JUST A LOT OF WORK. THIS BOAT IS IN BETTER SHAPE THEN THE AMBASSADOR WAS AND THAT TOOK ME ONE WINTER TO DO THAT ONE.

GELCOAT IS FADED, A LOT OF ELBOW GREASE AND IT DOES COME UP, MY PLAN WAS TO REPAINT. IN THE PICTURES THE BOAT IS WET AND DOESN'T LOOK TO BAD. THE PICTURE OF THE RED BOAT IN THE WATER IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW IT COULD LOOK WHEN DONE AND NOT MY BOAT.I BELIEVE THE VISION 221 WAS ONLY PRODUCE FROM 1988 TO 1992 AND IS A REALLY COOL LOOKING BOAT.

IT LOOKS FAST JUST TIED TO THE DOCKLOADRITE SINGLE AXLE GALVANIZED TRAILERTIRES ARE DRY ROTTED BUT HAVE HELD AIR PRESSURE AS LONG AS I'VE HAD IT ( IT DID MAKE A 100 + MILE TRIP WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER GREASING THE WHEEL BEARINGS)

SOME OF THE ROLLERS LOOK LIKE THE COULD BE REPLACED, LIGHTS WERE WORKING WHEN I TOWED IT, 2" COUPLER. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO PAPERS FOR THE TRAILER, BUT I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO REGISTER IT AS A HOME MADE. NJ DOES NOT ISSUE TITLES FOR THIS SIZE TRAILER ONLY REGISTRATION. I WILL PROVIDE A NOTARIZED BILL OF SALE.I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE I ONLY HAVE BAD NEWS, BUT I DON'T WANT ANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT THE EXTENT OR CONDITION OF THE PROJECT. THIS BOAT IS WELL WORTH SAVING AND HATE TO HAVE TO CHOP IT UP AS SCRAPE.

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION ONE BID COULD WIN IT. IF IT DOESN'T SELL I'LL CUT UP THE HULL AND SELL THE TRAILER ALONE FOR MORE THEN THE OPENING PRICE FOR BOTH THE HULL AND TRAILER COMBINED.PLEASE SAVE THIS GREAT BOAT !

I WOULD DO IT MYSELF IF I COULD .THIS ITEM IS FOR PICK UP ONLY ! ALTHOUGH I'M WILLING TO DELIVER FOR FREE UP TO MAX 75 MILES FROM 07820, EXCEPT FOR LONG ISLAND AND NYC IN WHICH CASE I WILL MEET YOU ON THE NJ SIDE OF THE HUDSON RIVER (SORRY)

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WANT ANY MORE PICTURES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL MARC AT phone, LEAVE NAME AND CONTACT NUMBER I WILL RETURN YOUR CALL AS SOON AS I CAN. JUST A HEADS UP, CALLS ARE BETTER, TEXT AND EMAIL NOT SO GOOD, LOLI RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY IF SOLD LOCALLY
