Options include a remote control and extra speakers for the stereo, Lowrance digital depthfinder, compass, trim tabs with indicators, engine compartment lights, bilge fume dedtector, oil-change system, through-transom exhaust with stainless steel silencers and special edition graphic that make the boat stand out. Checkmate calls this space the “Playpen”. Persuader powerboats for sale are shocking till nowįurthermore the area below the foredeck is also finished with four-inch thick vinyl pad for sleeping or stowing gear. An AM/FM cassette stereo and four drink holders in the cockpit are standard aboard the Checkmate Persuader 219.
CHECKMATE BOAT DRIVER
The driver anjoys the comfort of a swivel bucket seat, power steering, a custom wheel, and a single-lever throttle with integral trim switch. Best view in Ånnsjön lake.Īll upholstery is custom maded in three-color designs with high-quality, marine grade vinyl. And the durable, easily cleaned, deep-pile marine carpet will be more welcome under bare feet than traditional nonskid. A 5’6″-wide by 3’2″- long sunpad atop the electrically activated engine hatch will be convenient for sunbathing or picknicking while at anchor. The 219 also has an integral swim platform with non-skid surface, swim ladder, and grabrails for ease in boarding from the water. At high speed, the pad provides extra lift and decreases resistance, yet maintains good ride quality in deteriorated conditions. The boat’s notable speed, however, is attributable to its “keel pad,” a 10-inch wide center section that extends a few inches deeper than the rest of the hull. The winning move! Checkmate Persuader day cruisers from 90′ Two sets of full-length strakes enhance lift for efficient planing, while a reverse-deadrise chine not only helps with lift, but keeps the ride dry by deflecting spray away from the passenger area. This steep angle at the keel helps the boat cut through head seas and resist sliding sideways in hard turns. With the optional MerCruiser 7.4L Bravo One top speed jumps to 70 mph, and expect to see 75 mph from the 350-hp MerCruiser 454 Magnum, according to Checkmate boat.Īll six boats use a modified -V hull with 20-degree deadrise at the transom and deepening significantly from amidships to the bow. However, Checkmate boats suggest that the four smallest boats (including the 219 shown here) are best suited for waterskiing as they are lighter and plane more quickly.Īccording to the company, the Checkmate Persuader 219, powered by a single 250-hp MerCruiser 350 Magnum, will plane in 3,5 secconds, and reach a top speed of 65 mph. Waterski enthusiasts will appreciate that tow rope eyes are standard equipment on all six models. Together they offer just about any size or type of boat you could dream of. The Checkmate Persuader bowriders are the 234, 218, and 202. The three long-deck versions, designated by length in feet and inches, are the 235, 219, and 203. Two types of foredeck were developed for each of these three hulls: an enclosed and “long” deck, and an open bowrider. Also, it would be good to know what type of transducer was used, and for what type of depth finder.Description Checkmate boats are incredible fast amoung thier American water friends I was wondering how the transducer actually worked after the boat was returned to the water. I won't be able to get mines as close to the transom as yours appears to be (I don't currently have the decking and tank removed) but I hope to be able to create an access area under the rear seat.
CHECKMATE BOAT SKIN
Not knowing the thickness of the Checkmate outer skin layer, I am a little apprehensive starting the cutting and drilling installation process. I would like to add a depth finder on my Checkmate, and would like to do the in-hull/shoot-thru-hull type also. My question is for the original poster ( metriccrescentwrench) concerning the installation of the "in-hull transducer" (I believe it was in post #14 ), I assume the transducer was for a depth gauge, or something similar. It still has the original Mercury 175 on it! Mine is black and silver and still in pretty solid shape, although it could use a good cleanup, buff and wax. I realize this is an old thread, and a long-shot at getting a question answered, but thought I would give it a post anyway! First off, let me say this was very interesting, and well done, restoration, especially for me since I currently own a Checkmate Eluder also! Bought mine new waaaaay back around 1980.
