Most of my trips are day trips, but i do stay on my boat from time to time. I'm not able t cruise slower than 30 mph right now with the Checkmate without falling off plane. Are there planning issues with the 292? if so how would moving to the 312 make that any better?
Now with the K-Planes down a bit and drives tucked, I can pull my kid tubing at 27 mph. I like having the twin engines and counter rotating props. Most of my 'cruising' is 50+ mph over mixed water = fun.:drink: |

We also do quite a bit of overnighting on the water. The full enclosure is nice to have if that is something you plan to do.
I'm putting her in the water this Thursday and looking forward to a nice loooong weekend on the water. Good luck on your search! |
