Currently: 1995 Checkmate Persuader bow-rider I/O, 2000 Alumacraft 14' aluminum w/Honda 15 motor. Always searching for my next boat, currently trying to find an Allison Grand Sport or ProSport Tournament or Checkmate Pulsare 2100BR! The Persuader pictured is for sale.
So far:
1992 Checkmate Pulse 171 with 1992 XR6 Merc 2.5 150. 5.5" manual setback, 26" Laser II prop, small gearcase 1.78:1 ratio, 72 best top speed at 5600 rpm. Sold boat to an older guy that wanted to look good. I'll bet he pooped his pants the first time he hit 62 and it did that little 'wiggle' you had to drive thru......
1995 Checkmate Persuader 183, bow-rider, 4.3 V6 w/4bbl., 23" Laser II, Alpha drive w/ 1.62 gears, 58-59 best speed so far at 4300 rpm on GPS 12. Need to find a 23" Tropy Plus to try.
1956 Crestliner 12' aluminum with various engines over the years, lastly the 15 Honda 4-stroke. Sold boat to a co-worker.
1990 Crestliner Muskie Pro, 16', 40 Merc 4cyl tiller, 15" three blade, 39 mph best speed. Sold boat to a guy that hated his son's cheap Sea Nymph fishing boat.
2000 Alumacraft T-14V aluminum 14', Honda 15 4-stroke, 9" prop, 26 mph best speed so far.
1989 Hydrostream Virage Turbo ZT w/ 2.5 150 XRi, 4-blade SS unknown Merc prop, 70 mph best speed. Sold to Ron Pratt (Alaska Streamin) who towed and shipped it all the way to Sitka Alaska.
1995 X-Stream Valero, never hung a motor on it. Sold it to a guy that installed a new 175 XRi motor. He has it for sale on Ebay
