    can i put a bigger motor then what my boat is rated

    Foot went through my boat floor

    Major Repair Julie, replacing the deck (floor) on any size boat is a very ambitious project. Be prepared for what you might find as you do the tear out. You will need a garage or workshop to get into a job that involved. Go to the Checkmate site and look up a project that "Jupiter Pulsare" did...

    A little Baja history.

    Thanks Coop Cool story Coop, why do the Checkmate guys bash the Baja's so much. Is it just a friendly rivalry or is there more to it. I've owned 2 Mates but never a Baja although I always thought they looked pretty neat. Were they as bad as the Checkmate guys make em out to be?
