Sweet older Checkmate

Looks like they did a great job with the restoration. I wonder what it would run w/ the twin 2.5s.

I agree, very clean! Sorry, can't answer the speed question. Always liked Checkmates.

I emailed the guy and he said upper 60's fully loaded w/ fuel and people in Az. Claimed 80 empty at sea level.

A 20 mph swing going from AZ to sea level minus a few pounds?

12 mph. 80-68.
Is that plausable? Assume +100°F in Az vs ??°F in the salt. I have no idea if it could be that big of a difference...

CheckMate was my first boat, 17'. That's a nice lookin rig.
