What is your current prop?
What RPM are you running? And what speed.
Bow lift is the key to going fast in a checkmate.
Let us know and we may be able to help.

1975 Checkmate Tri-mate 2, 2.4 200+ / Sky jacker 6" plate / 25p Laser 2 prop, Currently the boat is undergoing overhaul.
 
Not sure of Rpm s . The prop is aluminum. I believe this is a fast little hull. Its a little smaller than the enchanter and has a full v bottom. How fast can this boat go with a stock prop.Took boat out in the fall, ran fifties with no tack or trim gauge. Would like to get a stainless steel. I hear a possible gain of + five miles an hour. What does everybody think?
 
Something with good bow lift. Its hard to say what the right pitch would be with out knowing what the rpm is. Not sure if you are in the power band of the motor.
