Rob, your boat runs very well for a stock single engine boat. If I remember right, I had my hands full running you in my 24 Outlaw with a 502. If you decide to pump it a little you'll lead the pack on our pond!

The goal this week is to get at least 300 hours out of our current powerplant before we start pumping the displacement and compression ratio up.

This was with two adults and a full cooler....and please note the fuel level.

We witnessed a Baja H2X run 109MPH at the 2005 LOTO Shootout, wow. Maybe a big power Checkmate owner can step up next year.

You're just the man to do it. No offense, but I'll just watch from the sidelines when you bust 109!

i am a big checkmate fan and im a baja owner. i own a 25 ol. i was going to buy a zt28. i know checkmates are li1ghter but some are faster then others. i have two friends that have checkmates and every time we go out im the one in front. both checks are 25s not sure what years. one is a 1988 or something but the other is late 90s. 88 has a 454 and the late 90s has 502. i have 496 ho and i seem to pull a little more then they do.

I was going to say the opposite. There is a 27 Baja around where I boat with a stock 502 MPI , fairly new, not sure what year. Anyway, when I had my stock 454 Magnum, I ran him a few times and always was a bit faster.
