I have a Concept 23 with Optimax 225, hyd jack plate, and K planes. 58-59 MPH is it. That is also as fast as you want to go in this hull.
I hear what you are saying. I remember mine used to chinewalk at its top end.

Have they finished one yet? I remember reading about it being built a couple months back.

How are Checkmate boats these days? There were lots of the on the lake in Nashville I use to run on and the absolutly flew. Checkmate has been doing outboard spot boats for a long time.

I do not know of any 25' CC with a 300 on it that will do 70. Most 25' boats with a I/O (I know more weight) take around 450-475hp to do an honest 70. Add the aero drag a CC has and you will need probably a pair of 250 2 strokes to hit 70 in a 25' CC.

A 22 flats boat might hit 70 with a 300 on it!

The Potomac river is the one of the best bass fisheries on the east coast. The State Park/ Marina hosts 80 bass tournaments a year. I have talked to many of those guys whos boats run over 70 mph, some close to 80, insurance for them is dirt cheap...according to them. Go figure:(:(:(

And just think of all the bass boats running out there with big power.:hitfan:

Superboat has finished 2 boats I think, call them up and ask for John C the owner he will tell you all about them, and there is a few pic of the build on oso superboat fourm.

I do not see any pictures of a completed one yet, maybe someone will post a picture of one.

Never seen a checkmate in a cc version before. Velocity is claiming 75mph with a 300xs in a 22 cc with no top. So it can be done with a single motor, wait until that 350 merc racing motor comes out. I can see one of those on a yellowfin 24 doing 75.
