Clean, Fast & Turn-Key: 2013 Checkmate Pulsare 2000 BRX — Central Arkansas
A rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained Checkmate Pulsare 2000 BRX from a proud 9-year owner. This 20-foot fiberglass performance runabout is ready to hit the water today — no projects, no surprises. The seller describes 70+ mph capability, and the combination of a purpose-built Checkmate hull and a Mercury 250XS outboard makes that entirely credible.
The Pulsare 2000 BRX is a purpose-built performance runabout from Checkmate, a brand with a long heritage in high-performance fiberglass boats. The BRX designation reflects the model's sport-oriented DNA — a hull designed for speed, stability at wide-open throttle, and head-turning aesthetics. Deck and hull are finished in full gel coat, keeping the boat looking sharp and simplifying long-term maintenance.
Power comes from a 2009 Mercury 250XS outboard — a racing-pedigree engine that the seller reports starts instantly and runs flawlessly. The 250XS is Mercury's high-performance competition outboard, built around a lightweight design and aggressive power delivery. Paired to this hull, it delivers the kind of straight-line performance that makes this boat genuinely exciting on the water.
The boat has always been stored indoors, which is one of the most meaningful indicators of long-term condition in the used boat market. Indoor storage protects gel coat, upholstery, and mechanical components from UV degradation and weather exposure — buyers should expect a boat that looks and performs well above its age.
KEY FEATURES
- Upgraded PTX Full-Color Graphics Package — Deck and hull finished in full gel coat (no vinyl wrap). Gel coat is the premium finish choice for performance boats: it holds gloss longer, resists fading, and can be polished and restored. This boat is described as a genuine head-turner at the ramp and on the water.
-
- 2009 Mercury 250XS Outboard — The 250XS is Mercury's competition-grade outboard, engineered for maximum power-to-weight performance. The seller reports it starts instantly and runs flawlessly — a strong indicator of proper maintenance over the years of ownership.
-
- Always Stored Indoors — Nine years of indoor storage is a significant ownership credential. UV exposure and weather cycling are the primary causes of gel coat oxidation, upholstery deterioration, and wiring issues on used boats. Indoor storage meaningfully extends the service life and appearance of every component.
