I just got my first Checkmate. Anything I should know about this particular boat? I have only had it out twice.
Below is the link where I first found it.

Sweet boat. i bet that thing moves out pretty nicely.

It runs good ...I hope to do a couple poker runs with it. I am wondering what kind of fuel range I can expect. ... Miles per tank?

 

[senator-holland]

Smiles gallon rating is very high

[DropTop5.0]

Welcome. There are only a couple of these on the forum; they're pretty rare.

What size tank does it have? Feeding those two motors, I'd guess a mile per gallon, probably less if you are running hard.

Welcome! That is one sweet ZT and should run dang good!

I was told it has a 150 gal tank ...if I can get 1 mpg on trips I'll be pleased ... Not lots of places to fuel up on the water where I boat sometimes. I know once it's on plane I can cruse at a very low rpm ... But the motors are bound to be thirsty.

Man I'm jealous I been eyeballing that boat for a long time.
Previous seller claimed 100 mph. Let us know as soon as you GPS cuz I'm sure were all curious. That's an awesome boat. Congrats

 

[Fast zt 33]

Thanks for all the positive input .....the fellow I bought it from claimed 105 mph ....I have not had an opportunity to try it out to its full potential . I wish it were summer year round, as it will be a while before I can report a proper GPS flat out speed.

Nice boat, love the colors. I think Kunkel posted his speed numbers he ran it to but can't remember what it was.

We average about 1.2 at 55 mph with Merc700's so I would think you should get at least that.

That's is a very nice looking "Mate" that's appears to be set up nicely. Do some research on the pro-chargers if that is what is on there. Seems to be mixed reviews on them. Good luck with her. Love the colors.
