What the hell is this thing
I was browsing freeboats and I stumbled across this seemingly unidentifiable boat. Only three pictures on the listing, no model year, the engines don't make sense and there Is zero about this thing on the Checkmate Boats forum (the listing says it's a checkmate). I'm looking into restoring this but now I'm not too sure because if I can't find OEM schematics or parts I'm screwed lol, Can someone please help me identify this? 
The boat is said to be 40 feet and I found out that the hull designs of Checkmate were used by Baja for a period of time but the only 40-foot boat built by Checkmate was a 120mph inboard one-off
(look up 40' cigarette style on freeboats for the listing)
