Re: LOTO Shootout
The only thing I would worry about is the weather that time of the year. It could be cold or raining and that is a long haul with a boat to sit and watch rain fall.

You should consider running your boat in next year's shootout. I understand it is a long haul from NY, but many people come from CA and FL to participate and witness the event. You would have alot of Checkmate fans pulling for you. Checkmate had a strong presence in 2005 watching others race, but no boats participating. The class your boat would run V1M1 is competitive, however I am sure your boat would run with the best of them in your HP range.

RJBBC,
Yes it would be nice. I do have the means of getting there but I think it is just toooooooo far away from the East coast. My luck I would get there and break the drive the first day out.

Don't repower Checkmate unless you go stock Merc such as 500 or 525. Checkmates run out of boat.
Don't buy a small cat unless your nuts.
35 V-Fountain 38 Cig TG or 35/36 cat with stock power. Look at a boat purchase as a 3 year investment. Buy it and sell it in 3 years. The boats true cost is the difference in $.
