Who the hell wants to buy a boat thats been drug all over hell in the salt and snow?? If your from the northern states that is.

Willy, on your next boat purchase maybe you should consider which brands you can see more often at the boat shows.

Fast Enough....yes your 210 is 400lbs heavier..different bottom design...it's a much better rough water boat though! Don't remember if you have a jack plate or not, that makes a difference. 70 MPH is very respectable for that boat w/or without the jack plate.

Checkmate 300, I have 97 zt280 with a 454mag I just bought the boat in november and to put in storage. What kind of top end should I see from this combo?

CHECKMATE 300: My Starflite had a advertised weight of 1,300 pounds. The new Pulsare 2100 has an advertised weight of 1,375 pounds and it is a wider boat. I have friends that have 20' Action Marine boats being 800 pounds that run in the mid 70's with a 200 Merc. In order for that Pulsare to run 80 MPH it would have to be somewhere around 1,000 pounds.

gslinger....i would say in the mid 60's. Jeff....weight isn't the only factor in how a small O/B runs, the 2100 has a completely different bottom design from both the Starflite and the old Enchanter..and the motors are more efficient than they used to be. The 2100 also comes standard with a 5" CMC jack plate. Seeing is believing....would love to get you a ride in one...we've even put a 300 Pro Max on one it's in the 90's.Believe IT or NOT

Hey Kip,(CHECKMATE 300) are you planning on updating the website this year with some more info and pics on the PULSE 210 and 211 and the Pulsare. I think there is growing interest in those boats. I consistantly have people asking me about mine and it would be nice for them go to Checkmatepowerboats.net for more information and see some more pics. And if you need a Pulse 210 for pics I will volunteer mine. And yes mine does have the jack plate.

Thanks checkmate 300. Is there any plans in the work to make checkmates website bulletin board more like this one were you can see responses and the like?

Hea guys...thanks for the input on the web site...we are always looking for better ways to use the web site...and yes we will be looking at responses from the bulletin board to make the site better and more informative.

Jeff, you're right a Pulsare can't run 80 with a 225, but it can get damn close with a 225 Promax. I run mine with a 24 Trophy Plus spinning 6700 rpms and it hits 77-78 on gps consistantly. My 100mph gaffrig speedo bounces on 85, but gps doesn't lie.

NO Checkmate at the Philadelphia boat show! I will look for them 2/10 at Atlantic city NJ boat show. The boat shows around here suck! NO power boats at all!
