HULL: '89 21 Checkmate Starflite w/ Detwiler jack and Sea Star Pro steering. 6 inches of setback. Featured in Hot Boat March 2000.
POWER: stock 1993 2.5/245 carb motor sitting on '89 2.4 mid and LU with can pulled and exhaust drilled. Any advantage to adding velocity stacks??
PROP: 23 Yamaha Pro Series thru hub 3 blade stainless. Assumed to be 14 1/4 diameter. Runs 70 @ 7000r's. Can't jack this prop up. Also have 24 Chopper that runs 74 @ 7200 r's but gives no bow-lift 'cause I gotta jack it up high. Running a stock gearcase w/no bullet nose. Any advantage to running a smaller diameter wheel with more pitch? Maybe a 13 3/4 26 Trophy? Looking to get to 7300 rpm's WOT. Opinions needed.
