You will definitly have the edge this summer, but then blower motors and NA motors aren't really apples to apples..

Re: Dyno results at Crockett Marine
Two different boats! My buddies boat Top Secret is NA.. the twin turbo'd boat is Check300's boat.
They are both 28' Convincers. Checkmate now calls it a 30 because they dont sell it without a swim platform. Model change to protect the marketing, I guess.

I read your post about the Checkmates with interest. I have ridden in the twin turbo'd Check and it is purely awesome! Not to open a can of worms, Top Secert is a close friend of mine and your recollection of meeting him... well it just didnt sound like him. We have been boating together for 15 yrs. Being a Checkmate man myself, I decided to give him a call and see if he could recollect that meeting. Without any prompting, it seems that his recall was a bit different. He does remember running with you and he was impressed with your boat's speed. More like 1 1/2 miles and you two were pretty close at the 84mph mark, verified by his GPS and his Gaffrig GPS speedo. At the boat launch you mention something about another prop would have put you in front. He mentioned that his boat was not running up to par and that the week previous he ran 91 mph on the radar gun at LOTO, a matter of public record.
One thing he didnt realize was that you were running a procharged motor. Now it seems to me that the 28' Check is a true 28' hull and the 27 Baja has the swim platform added into that figure. Am I correct in that assumption? So now we have a NA motor in a larger boat that keeps up to yours on bad day for him and you tell him to get GPS?
Like I said, I AM a Checkmate guy and I had to say something.. Dont mean to start anything... You will definitly have the edge this summer, but then blower motors and NA motors aren't really apples to apples..

Smitty,
I know how things can get confused after a long day of boating.. thanks for the reply.. I wouldnt say I am all that intelligent.. just been there, done some of the stuff.. and keep trying.
Would love to meet up.. hoping to make Hardy more this summer, but first need to get mine running.. Drives have taken front seat, but making some progress on my motor..
