28 Checkmate (red/white) in New Buffalo, MI
Anyone know the owner of the 28' Checkmate on Lake Michigan? The boat is red and white. This guy thinks he is the fastest boat on the southeast side of Lake Michigan. I was talking to him at Casey's (local bar) and he claimed to be the fastest in the region. Even beating some of you you Chicago boys. Somebosy please come across this guy and show him how fast his boat ISN'T.

No family in Boston, that is interesting though. Not a very common name.
The checkmate guy claims 118mph. I personally think the guy is full of ****. I have seen it numerous times in the public slips over the weekends.
Currently I only have my cruiser. I am in the market for another Cigarette. Probably a 38' unless I find the right deal on a 42'.

You don't even have to go to chicago to find someone faster. Michigan City has some Outerlimits that will take care of him. The Checkmate are fast boats but not very stable at high speeds. What motors does this boat have?
