[Z06]

Any idea on speed?

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!

 

[bdusted440]

I was wide open when he went by me and I run a little over 50

 

[Z06]

I'd say low/high sixties then? Thats not too too bad when you think about it... Any idea what is possible motor combos for the boat?

It all depends on how deep your pockets are Z.I got my new hp plate from mike at check mate today. good for 150 hp. but I am puzzled about some thing you could get a trimate 2 witha rating of 120hp or 150hp depending on the beam measurment.76" or 89" I didnt know the made too different trimate 2's.

 

[Z06]

I'd get anything to make it faster... Trust me, I have $$$ around to spend on it. I am still looking around for something with a reasonable price...

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. OKAYYYYYYYYYYY. POST POST POST POST POST POST POST POST POST..

LIKE YOU WILL EVER REALLY BUY A CHECKMATE? CAN SOMEBODY GIVE CORVETTE A CHECKMATE SO HE CAN TALK FROM EXPERIENCE?

I am the one who knows all!

 

[Z06]

Man, do you know what f**k off means? I am looking around for a Checkmate... When I find one, you'll know!

As soon as the snow melts i'll get some pics to you on the starflite.I'd 300x it Z

 

[Z06]

Thanks. I now need something a little more cost worthy for me... A new Pulsare is out of the question, but a nice Starflite or Sportfire would be nice. I am not sure how the 300X would do, it may be too heavy for the hull? It would also cost sooo much... 20K?

[Shameless]

The 300 is pretty light, you are pretty close in weight when you compare an old 200 to the new Pro max's

 

[Z06]

I'm not to familar with the 300, as I havn't ran one out. I was wondering how it would actually do on the hull? What numbers could I expect, anything like that.

[bdusted440]

I think the 300X would turn some very respecable numbers on the back of a starflight.I would hope in the 80's.

 

[Z06]

80's? It must get higher then that. Who knows it may even get 90's

I won't be the one getting it because that whole motor by itself would cost me a fortune, $ I don't have to spend so thats why I'm looking for a package.
