Your Checkmate is about as heavy as my 72 Allmand Supernova19. I spent a lot of time researching and backyard experimenting to come up with the best within reason money wise motor I could build. Nothing exotic and you should be able to find everything online. I know some will say that is not strong enough or that is junk. All I can say is I run the piss out of it for years and its reliable and very respectable
