I thought I was looking at a Baja by the pictures, then reading on I was right I guess??? SO is that the case, is the checkmate the old Baja? And as far as speed, I would doubt it would be lighter to get that speed, Our 99 with a 454 MPI does 66-67 with LAB prop. So the 496 should get that easy.

I would imagine that your 272 has the 454 "Mag" MPI (385hp) to be showing those speeds?
Baja rated the 272 @ 4400 lbs
Baja rated the 275 @ 4400 lbs
Baja rated the 278 @ 5100 lbs
CM rates their 275 @ 4100 lbs

Yep that is the engine 454 Mag and 385 hp, now I havent run it on my gps but your guy said it went about 66.5 gps when they tested it out before they winterized just a few weeks ago. I wont be suprised come spring will I??? LOL You should remember the boat I just got it there before Labor day, anything I should know about it?
So when can we see a CM ZT275 might have to trade but I think the Mrs might shout me. LOL
Did they change anything major?

I checked with the tech that worked on your boat, he said your boat (before the new prop) ran 64.5 MPH, after the prop change they doccumented your boat at 66.7 MPH. So your boat is running good!! Trim Pump / Radio / Remote / Winterize / Custom SS Prop / & Detail sounds like is what was all done.
I like the fact that you're already checking out the new CM 275
ENJOY your new boat & THANKS for your business!!

I was just kidding, seriously I am not worried. Being I am on vaca this week I was thinking of heading south to use it yet again this year but even Mo is cold there too.
Back to the ZT275 are there many changes form the Baja version other than graphics.

just noticed the other day, that Shogrens , has a 275 baja by fountain , new boat for sale. is the checkmate the same boat?. kinda interesting . I have owned 5 checkmates in the past 12 yrs, there gel work is the best. IMO, but like anything in life the more you spend the more you should expect.
