This Was The Boat On Ebay A Few Weeks Ago..

I Am Really Suprized About What All Is There And All The Orginal Stuff Still On It

Looks Like A 73 1500 W/trim Orginal Seat/gauges Etc..

Good Winter Prject To Replace Wood And Paint Etc..

You have a classic 70s SJ boat there and I am jealous. I got the chance to drive a Checkmate much like it and they drive pretty well even without power trim. For the guys who couldn't get a Molinari or a Milesmaster they were a good way to get into Sport J back then.

Nice boat! Get her wed first and than repaint it. Make it racy :) I like flashy colors for such a boat.

Does it have the race trim or the trim and tilt? I talked to the guy that had it when it was for sale. A little too pricey for me. Great find though and really neat!

Congrats on the Purchase Kim.

A bunch of the members on our site had their eye on that one and took a shot at buying it.

It's nice to know someone bought it who will bring it back to its past glory.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. :)
