I saw a 1997 Checkmate 283 with a 454mag EFI for sale. Can anyone give me some details on this boat. Weight, speed, overall length with and without platform. How do they ride compared to the 253 or 259. thanks

Thanks for your help guys....one last question. This boat is in Georgia and has no numbers on it. Not sure if it was ever registered. Since I live in NJ and will register it in NJ how will the sales tax work. Someone told me I would pay sales tax in Georgia at time of purchase and then in NJ again when I go to DMV to register. Is this true??
