I've owned this boat for 10 years and hurt a lot of feelings with my little sleeper. Trailer completely redone one year ago (new paint, tires, aluminum wheels, led lights, & electric brakes on all wheels) All gauges needed in a fast boat (water temp, water pres, fuel pres, oil pres, oil temp, recall tach, etc) Boat has upgrades too numerous to mention.will list a few: Purchaser can ride in boat before power is pulled. My powertrain will be pulled when boat is sold. I currently run a dry sump 632ci tall deck motor and Imco SC outdrive and have been 106mph with this combination. This will be a fully rigged boat less power and outdrive. This is an unique opportunity for some that wants a proven 100mph+ hull that they can put their own power in. Offering for sale my 1997 26ft Checkmate 242 Convincor Sport (same as today's 262). Have met many non believers but I have seen several of them run and they will crush your ego.Ĭlick the link for pix's from one of their annual fall shoot outs. Many from Harold Kunkles shop in Mansfield. Tires are only 2 years old according to the man I bought it from, Discount Tire checked em and told me they have plenty of life left.Hull and outboard state tags good thru June 2019, so is Oklahoma City lake license.LOCAL PICKUP ONLYI DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING THIS BOAThere are a couple of Youtube links of cruising 40+ on Lake Hefner.When I was in Ohio there were several of these wicked sleepers around. Has the bearing buddy grease irks for easy maintenence. Also an older cover that came with it, covers entire hull.The trailer is in fine shape too, never had an issue. Not a killer system by any means but it won't leave you stranded with a dead battery either :)I also installed a single new Duracell deep cycle AGM Series 31 battery($200) and run off of it alone, altho the main power switch+system is set up for dual batteries if you wish to do that.Also comes with 4 life jackets, a two person tube, a tow rope, and some various other bumpers and lines. I installed adjustable bucket seat bases that rotate 360 along with a new Sony bluetooth marine stereo with Polk speakers and a 100 watt Rockford-Fosgate power amp. The carpet is in ok shape, theres a small oil stain underneath the steering gear, otherwise fine. Ive got a roll of matching vinyl fabric to redo the sides or bench seats or both. No real rips in the bucket seats, theres a tiny one in the bench seat but overall not bad at all. Someone along the way installed a beefy transom plate along with adjustable hydraulic jack plate! very handy for adjustments, whether pulling a tube or running flat out for a speed run.The interior is alright. This thing will get on plane in a few seconds and is super fun to point around. Who knows of course! Really doesn't burn that much fuel considering the awesome power. Previous owner told me it had been rebuilt about 4 years ago and has perhaps 100 hrs on it. You just fill the reservoir with 2 cycle oil and it regulates itself, very painless. The outboard case says 200 horsepower but both the tag agency and the boat mechanic that did the work on it told me the VIN shows its a 225 EXCELL V6 Yamaha two stroke with variable timing and oil injection. She's done 61mph on GPS on flat water with four people in the boat. It's been flawless since! Starts quick with a little choke, runs like a bat out of hell. First thing this spring I had the lower unit of the outboard rebuilt and impeller professionally replaced ($600) to fix a small oil leak and ensure a trouble free summer. I ran it last summer and stored it inside over the winter. It's been very well kept and although the hull has some bumps and bruises it is in pretty great shape considering its almost 40 years old. Silver metallic flake on black, it's so old skool beautiful I couldn't leave it there haha. NO RESERVE!Wonderful boat! Only reason Im selling it, is that my boat time is limited and my kayak has all my attention now.I bought this last year in Minnesota and dragged it back home.
