#Checkmate commander car alarm manual drivers
(Originally there was only a single stringer along the centerline from about the drivers seat forward. I fabricated these from some good quality 1X lumber, they're only purpose in life is to support the deck around the ski locker. It involved moving the transition from the main deck to forward deck about 6 inches, and adding two small stringers. This boat originally didn't have a ski locker, I changed the configuration slightly to be able to add one. Re: Complete rebuild of 1979 Checkmate Eluder

The plywood under this section of the bow was completely gone, all that remained was a layer of fiberglass. Here's a photo of that "soft spot" in the bow after removing the carpet. It was obvious that this boat had been left out in the weather uncovered for a long time. When I got the boat home I did a complete inspection and found extremely wet foam under the deck and wood so rotted around the flotation box in the stern that it would crumble with only slight help from a screwdriver. I was still interested because the asking price wasn't too bad even for a project boat (and I held out the slightest hope that I could simply replace a section of the deck and be done with it).

Well, having already replaced the transom in my other boat I knew full well what soft spots usually mean. I found my project Checkmate online, the seller stated that it was lake ready and only had one soft spot in the bow. In my opinion nothing matches the look of vintage Checkmates, especially the closed bow models, but for me a bowrider was the only way I could get permission from the Admiral to do a Checkmate project since it's more family friendly. I fell in lust with that boat, I remember many mornings hearing the scream of that engine and watching Kenny disappear across the lake followed by a huge rooster tail. When I was a kid we had a cabin on Higgins Lake in Michigan and the oldest son of one of my dad's friends had a Checkmate with a 150 Merc Tower of Power. I finished this rebuild over a year ago and thought I'd create a thread detailing the entire process so that maybe someone can learn from it, especially since there seem to be quite a few older Checkmates being restored now. I was going to start this thread in the "completed projects" section, but noticed that I can't start a thread there (so I'm guessing the moderators will move this over once I complete the thread.)
