Not to take away from this thread as this Checkmate person and history is awesome !
To answer above post, I know Nordic has a 21ft that some waterski racers use that have Merc 1350's installed. Here's one: http://youtu.be/9ItQ8Y_SzDs |
So not impossible at all,but large cahonies definitely required as well as optimum conditions.

It's incredible either way.... that speed in that boat... what a freakn ride !!!! Years ago PowerBoat Magazine did a article on a single engine 28 Howard Bullet with 1200 HP and it ran 130 something. On the SeaRay fourm there is a Fast 22's thread but nothing near those speeds....

There's a guy on here that had a twin turboed LS motor in a Checkmate that ran up there pretty good. I think he was over 1500hp in front of a wet sump #6. Screen name Checkmate ???.

Wow. Left hand rotation.
