    13' Twistercraft 70hp Merc 10 hours on engine.

    Rare one of three made from the Checkmate mold. Single mid seater and powered by a 1982 Mercury 70hp that was first started and broken in last summer. Custom trailer. Currently at 48mph on GPS but with some tweaking could easily do 50+. Previous owner powered with a 150XS and reached 97mph.

    Here is a link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcRCTR0I4s8.

    End of season and open to reasonable offers. My cell is 631-988-5087. Call or text with any questions.

    Looks like my old boat. Did the 150xs have NOS?

    No sparkling wiggles in here, only dump truck grinches.

    Wish I still had it. Had plans to change nitrous injection location from reed cages to a manifold I made that would mix behind carb in front of reeds. Seemed to me it would work better that way.
