Checkmate Top Speeds!!!

[Z06]

Hello Fellow Checkmaters...

This is a thread where Checkmate Top Speeds will be kept for others to see. To make the recordings easier for me to keep updated, and to make it easier to read, please do not make any posts here, but e-mail me at Chris.Ellard9@sympatico.ca. Please include your top speed, your boat, your motor, and you prop. Please tell me whether yours speeds are by GPS or speedo, as it does make a big difference

Thanks...

Z06

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

have top spots at 85 MPH by Gaffrig GPS Speedo and GPS Thanks to everyone for e-mailing me and Thanks to Gus for putting some of his Moderator magic to work to keep this thread at the top. Chow...

Hey AWelsh(?) is this how you spell the name? I wasn't sure. Could you also tell me what prop your using? Thanks...

Keep it up guys. I know there are more then 15 members with boats here. It seems to be getting less and less used... This is supposed to be a database of speeds, where you can learn from others...
