Is there such a thing as a family boat that goes fast?

How about this..., by the time you find one, have a core put in it, have the seats redone, replace everything else, and throw a 260 on it you will only have about $20K into it!! LOL!

I have a Checkmate 24', Pulsare 2400 BRX (bow rider) with a Merc 400R and it does everything very well, I can do 75mph with gear, beer & 4 on board all day long, by my lonesome best I've done is 83 & still working at it to get to 85, it's a blast for tubing as it carves the turns like it's on rails & it stays on plane as low as 14mph, the wake for an average slalom skier isn't to bad & one of things I like most about this boat is the room it has for passengers, 6 people on board is a non issue & the under seat storage is plentiful, I'll try & get some pic's up soon

Wow that is a slick lookin boat! ^ serious trim tabs, pretty sweet.

Maybe a lil overkill and not an outboard but the howard sport deck boats are impressive in any water. Seats at least 12 and with the right power will run 120 plus.

A 22 Stoker would be a good one too.

Whipper, the 2nd checkmate in your post (9) used to be mine. It was an awesome family boat. With a 29" t1 prop ran 89, but I usually ran a 25" high 5 that would top out at 75 but was way better for normal usage. It was fuel efficient too. I sold it to a local guy and he put a 250 sho on it. Now I use a 23' eliminator with twins for the family but we don't tube or ski. I like it because it rides smooth and can cruise at 60 at less than 1/2 throttle.
