Many thanks! I wouldn't be on this site if I didn't own a checkmate.when reading a lot of the posts on this site. It seems to me the boats coming from the factory are ill equipped or poorly designed. Let's see,chine walk built in,needs different prop,needs solid motor mounts,needs hydraulic steering,raise motor way up,the best one is have hull blueprinted! Etc. Etc. Or you don't know how to drive.do you think a bayliner needs all these mods to handle or perform half decent? I bet not. Signed just another school bus owner
Whatcha got?
Whats wrong with upgrading to make them faster then when they left the factory? Mine did have the hydraulic steering added when the stock 454 was pulled and something larger went in, nothing wrong with making it safer. It also had the hull blue printed before it left the factory new. What is your concern with blueprinting that you don't like it?
As far as the bayliner comparison how do you compare a family boat to a performance boat?
