These were both 28's. Flat water in them sucks. Starts getting choppy and it's like your on glass. When they really start going airborne that's when they run the best. My 27 Donzi has a similar ride. It does not like flat water at all. More prone to porpoise and chine walk when it's flat start getting into bigger water and it straightens right out.

Kunkels Marine has (2) Checkmate 300's for sale right now according to there website. The blue and white boat is set-up to run 120. Looks like it can be bought with or without power.

Yes, would like to see more pics of your boat. Can you tell me how it handles the power at speed and also docking control with only one engine? Thanks! T
You probably know this but Activator and Rage are really the same hull. Both designed by Mark Schnepf, Rage is the new company. Older Activator molds are in Sweden now, 'Mange' on this site has them. Oh, and the avitar is my 32' Activator with a #6 and one blown BBC in it.

My experience on a 27 and 30 Activator is in the 80 to 90 MPH range. No ill handling on flat water just slower on top end. Never seen a chine walk or porpoise at these speeds in any water. Maybe a different deal over 100.
