Wanted: checkmate spectra

[markd514]

Checkmate spectra outboard model around 17-18 foot.

I have a 1989 Spectra 171. It's not really for sale, but everything is for sale at the right price

What’s the price? Looks nice.

[skialot2]

You would have to make me an offer I could not refuse. I have put a lot of work in it. It looked like this when I got it.

New floor and stringers. All new interior. Just rebuilt 2000 2.5 200 with less than 10 hours on it.

[markd514]

Sounds like you want too much.

[markd514]

6 grand

[skialot2]

Yep. I want too much.

[markd514]

Tell me your asking price?

[markd514]

Looks like the hull is painted.

[skialot2]

All original Gelcoat. It was painted yellow when I got it. I took all the paint off with fiberglass paint remover.

Wet sanded it until I got all the sun burnt faded gel coat off. Compound and waxed. Shines like new.

Still have a bunch of chips and scratches to fix. Mostly on the lower sides and hull.

The more I think about it, the less I want to sell it. I know it's unreasonable, but for me to sell it I would have to get at least double. Maybe even more. Probably low teens. I don't know how I would replace it. Short speedboats with high freeboards are hard to find. Already having sellers' remorse and I have not even sold it. Sorry

[skialot2]

Maybe I am not that far off? My boat is a hell of a lot nicer than this one.

With the price of stuff today and nice as that is plus all time invested, I would not go lower than 17K if pics are indication of true condition.
