Thanks for all the positive feedback!!
Somewhere long ago I saw a Checkmate. The name and looks have stayed in the back of my mind all these years. When the time came to look for a boat, Checkmate was at the top of my list!!
Great board, Great boats and of course, Great Members!! Thanks to all!!

Speed:
I was able to get 51.5 mph(GPS) at 5200-5300 rpm WOT. I do not have a jackplate. I'm running a
13 1/4 X 22 stainless. Lacks pulling power but sure is fun!! It is rated for 125hp!! That should put it over 60!! Too fast for me! The boat is quite lite. I am happy breaking the 50 mph barrier after growing up with a boat that would max out at 27 mph. Hope that helps.
