Nice to see folks following the proper break-in procedure for new cylinders and rings. This should make for a more reliable and enjoyable ownership experience. Congrats.
For anyone that wants to know, the place he took the boat out is in Holiday Park Everglades which is located in Florida.
Need a jack plate and trim that motor out a little bit to get some mph out of that checkmate, I had a 19' cm with a black max 250, had a few different props but the jack plate up and the 250 trimmed out throwing 100' of rooster tail, I was running close to 90 mph but that's about the time it would really start chinewalkin and I would have to back out of it. Loved that boat tho
5:26 hard cut. Just perfect if or if not by design..I know you’re happy boat vibes with the checkmate getting back up. Ray from Addiction Marine is super confident and I sense a true master at his craft. Nice vid!
The Checkmate is a timeless classic. My first go fast was a new Checkmate Convincor back in ‘96. What a fun boat.
This makes me want to put a 300XS on my ‘89. Keep the videos coming!
Mr Boat Vibes is back
This gets me excited bro huge throwback vibes right there can't wait to be back on the water together soon I've got something special in the works👀👀
Boat looks great. Looking forward to you new content.
perfeck and thanks again for the vid, you do a great job, and the engine sounds amazing love the 2stroke outboards regards from the netherlands
I’m pumped! Been waiting for a checkmate update. That boat is sweet
Nice to see your boat back in the water
What a beautiful engine for that boat
Ps: I appreciate all your videos bro. Keep up the great work
Oh I I forget to mention I love all of your videos!!!!
Great to see you back!
Love my Mercury's run like a cheetah!!!
I bought this boat brand new in 1988 ...loved it.
You need some setback on that motor. 10” setback is perfect on the Starflite. Get a Bob’s Action series hydraulic Jack plate.
Nice to have a longer vid again 😉. Trying playing with a 3 blade tempest. Not sure what pitch they go up to, but would be good on that hull.
You don’t have to apologize… I enjoyed all your videos… do you..!
Don't be afraid to post mistakes even if catastrophic. It makes the rebuilt content that hopefully can pay for the rebuilt. A lot of content creators show the fun, the headaches and the fixes. Speed boats are no different then race cars... Shit happens. Dumb mistakes or pushing the limits. Show the carnage show the rebuild. Maybe it can help us for future experience and knowledge.
It feels good when you get your baby back doesn't it? Congrats man have fun
I know you don't like my comments, but is what it is, you blew up your motor, because you ran it up too high with no nose cone, umm your motor is a 250, not a mercury racing 300xs, BIG difference. Kinda copyright infringement on your logo from Mercury Racing isn't it??
Your videos are great I watch every one, your honest, and awesome content, just keeping it real bro..Look forward to more videos!!!
Nice set up!!
Checkmate Starflite. I had the 17' Sportfire.
Me too. 1987 Sportfire with a Merc 135 outboard. 63 mph gps. Fun boat but it did slide some on sharp turns. Raising the motor two holes really helped stopping the chine walking.
Awesome bro
Keep em coming,,,,,,,THANKS for this bad a** BABY
Your speed is awesome
Do you have plans to raise the motor on the transom? Checkmate transoms are higher than 20” to begin with but it looks like you can raise it at least one set.
And raising the motor helps with chine-walking.
I had the same exact boat checkmate starflight with a Yamaha 82 milesl an hour top speed boy do I miss that boat good luck with yours man it's awesome
72 mph maybe
Ya !!! More vids please
i had a 16 ft pisces with hi power staight 6 about 200 horses. chine walking @ 70 mph is so fun
⬆️50k! on your way. Congratulations, you earned it. 🎆
300hp looks cool.
Race that Checkmate in Class7!! :)
I just wanna know how a man “ twist” a sleeve????? Don’t forget to check the piston return springs
U could probably get really aggressive with a prop. Bigger more pitch
I love your videos bro! I love your boat! I want one so bad! I need your help finding one..
How do you overheat an outboard other than the obvious running it out of the water? Bad water pump? Clogged intakes?
How are you not going to overheat it again?
I am in LOVE WITH YOUR BOAT!!!!! I know it’s a checkmate but that’s all I know. How much will this amazing boat cost me if I can even find one????
It’s a checkmate Starflite 21’ there are some for sale they pop up here and there.
plate and surface piercer
Have you tried sharrow prop or do you know anyone who uses it
Did I read this correctly? "We are ready to race". Really? With that rig? I think you meant we are ready to go water skiing.
where did you run the boat?
Do you still have your other boats?
Like this content better than shorts . Very nice checkmate I had one many years ago a 13’ checkmate with a Johnson 70 stinger top speed was around 72 mph we raced it a few times in a APBA races.
try 62 ...lol
Try 72 mph they were very fast small boat Allison’s were very small boats to they were a had full a lot chime walking this is in the mid 70’s
@@josephwalker7646 B.S. checkmate aint no Allison don't even try to compare ....lol even a 13 Allison needs v-4 power to exceed 70....lol been there dun it...what prop and rpm did you run....?
@@josephwalker7646 its...CHINE WALKING ...and it is due to lack of driver skill....if your boat CHINE walks then you need to get the setup balanced better so you can drive better...CHINE WALK IS ... lack of balanced setup and lack of driver skill.
Back in the 1970s we were trying new stuff like speed master lower units ,cleaver props were still a new thing .Motors only had to meet cubic inch spec in the class we were running so carbs were re jetted the bore on engine block was oversized that’s how we achieved 72 mph get educated be say I’m full shit!
I've seen people spend thousands just to get 5 mph more. Ouch!
Which boat ramp is this?
Holiday park everglades in Florida
Think you need a faster drone. Lol
Boat needs a 2.5 300 drag or a 2.5 280 Offshore. Not a fishing engine.
Your smart
Where’s that lake .
It's not a lake but it's Holiday Park Everglades in Florida
All that to get 20mph.....
They are not gremlins if you created the problems. You straight blew up your motor dude. Gremlins sneak up with no cause.
