Finally got rid of the Checkmate and got a family boat, the kids are loving it, we ordered it July 4th and it finally came Tuesday, so far I've seen 50.6 mph GPS, not bad for a wash tub!

We also got the extended warranty so we are covered for 7 full years! Nice peace of mind.

I miss my Eluder Chris, especially sence I see it every time I'm on the lake just about, he let me take it for a spin a few weeks ago and that was great!

Maybe you can pick up a cheap one as a toy.

A nice Playmate might be easy to justify and explain....as in a Checkmate Playmate. :D

Beautiful Boat! No description, I'm guessing it's a Hurricane deckboat, about 23'? With a 200hp Merc. Good Luck with it!

Yes it's a hurricane sport deck 203, it's 20'9" long, I originally ordered it with a 200 Yamaha SHO just to try something different but then found out I couldn't get the Yamaha SHO in a 25" shaft, so I went with the 200 optimax Merc, I found a prop that works better now, a 20p 3 blade Enertia, 52.7 gps with a full tank of fuel and still 47 with 6 people, comes out of the hole very good as well with that prop.

Also because the boat was made after July 1st it's a 2015 which is a bonus, next year it will still be new, lol

It actually looks bigger then 20'.9" But it seems like the Ideal boat, & motor combo!
Wow, 52.7mph!, and it's probably not fully broke in yet. The Enertia is a great new design prop as well. Try some Turtle wax "ICE" on the bottom, I use it on all my vehicles because it never leaves water spots, the rain just sheets off, it seems to repel water.

I had an older 20' SeaRay bowrider with a 228hp/305 Merc. with synthetic oil, thru hull exhaust, & an unpainted bottom that I coaxed to 50mph max fully trimmed out. Didn't know about "ICE" back then, and I'm sure my boat was a bit heavier then yours, but that was still boogeying!

Best of luck with that new beauty of a boat! ;)
