    Checkmate 270 BR set up w/496mag HO ????

    Cool, I keep telling myself I'll be Pleased @ 63 but in the back of my mind I know I'm gonna want a little more. Especially when I'm only running 58 with a load.

    Naw, mine is purple. Boated it all last season w/a sbc and it was a dog.

    Checkmate 270 BR set up w/496mag HO ????

    Curious if anyone is currently running this combo and what I might be able to expect from it. Bravo 1, prop ????? Upgraded from the 6.2L so I'm pretty excited! Open to suggestions! Thx

    prolly gonna be a winter time build...even if i could afford it, i'd never put a $15,000 motor in a $20,000 boat..

    I recently purchased a checkmate convincer 270 br with the 6.2L and have decided it's way under powered. With a 23 pitch mirage at roughly 4500 rpm's, we gps'ed at 45mph.. Id like to run in the 60's with comparably sized single engine boats, 25 outlaws, etc... Is a 496 gonna have enough...
