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

Mike,that was my thought too, big block, but Kip and Bill told me that that boat really likes the lighter small block and has a better weight distribution. Maybe that is the differance from what your buddy is running and what I was told, that 55 hp should be good normally for 3mph or so. We will just have to wait and see. Hopefully it won't be too slow, but I will live the boat anyway. Anyway, where I spend most of my time boating, you can't run wide open most of the time, too much traffic.
 
If those guys said that you should be fine that motor should be snapie small block and all. With the price of gas now it my be the perfect motor. That new motor puts out 10 more hp than my 454 mpi how about that. Once you get that new boat you will be hitting more water than just your local lake ever been to Lake Cumberland??? or LOTO if want good clean water come to Michigan to the Inland waterways (Indian River) or Torch Lake now thats clean lots of room for WOT

Price of gas, that ain't the truth, I just paid almost 60 bucks to fill up my truck. Lake Cumberland, is that Kentucky? I have heard nothing but good things about Michigan and boating. Even Lake Michigan is so much nicer on that side of the pond compared to where I used to live on the West side of the Lake.
 
Yes it is, Cumberland is perfect for that boat ya I put $65 in my truck to,

can't wate for the price at the marinas this year
 
I can easily put 80 CAD in my truck on any given day. I have already put 120 bucks in it alone. I don't want to know what both will cost me!
