all white checkmate that was on higgins last summer
 
Had a all white checkmate blow me away on higgins lake in Michigan this last summer. Never found out who he was, just that it had big power. Might have been a 270? Just curious for some details. And a rematch this year!

A friend of mine has a place on Higgins and told me there was a fast Check running around. I think he said it was somebody local or with a place up there, older guy. Only other real fast Check I have seen running around MI is the white with blue 30, never met him but heard it ran over 100.

I think you might have seen check300. That boat has twin turbos and a #6 drive. It will easily exceed 110 mph last I heard. Rematch??

Your Looking for my Friend Bill / Check300.

Up there every year for the 4th of July.
This year there wasn't many people to run or that wanted to play
last year however we had a few nice runs.

Either way Bill is a great guy win or lose, just enjoys boating and always up for a great run.

30' CheckMate
#6 Drive with 12" extension Box
572" tall deck / Twin Turbo

Like cougarman said thats Bills boat, like 50 to 110 its a missle. I belive he is still super tunning and prop testing, topend still unknown. Boats a awesome set up, got to see it twice already and its a sleeeper for sure.

Holy hell. Now that's a sleeper!! Nice rig.

Jason3603 01-30-2012 02:43 PM

WOW absolutely amazing! I've been in Ryan's Check at 100 mph. Can't say I personally would want to go 114 mph in it though. Really neat to see stuff like this. It's not every day you see a single engine check running around with 1500 hp.

POWERPLAY J 01-30-2012 03:33 PM

Those Checks are crazy fast!!! Hopefully make it up there this summer and see one in person.

Twin O/B Sonic 01-30-2012 05:04 PM

One of my favorite boats....

I love how suttle it is. No noise, no flash, no chrome, just monster cajones!

I always got room at the cabin son. If you don't wanna bring your boat up I think I can make room on the new whip for a guy like you.

Sounds great to me. Bring on summer :)

Especially in the boating world where things get mighty flashy, I love seeing a sleeper like Check300's. Nasty machine. :cool-smiley-011:

check300 02-17-2012 07:17 PM

Thanks for the kind words. Well probably make a couple trips to Higgins this summer. We'll be there for July 4 for sure.
