irv Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Kinda looks top heavy/tippy and I'm not sure I'd want a cage around me when it does. Cool concept and no doubt would be fun but I'd like to see it some serious/decent waves. Edited July 11, 2022 by irv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 That center of gravity scares 😨 me... Think I'd prefer to sit in the water in our old Tahiti jet drive, with that big block screaming, spraying water everywhere.... Or, the Checkmate making the Tahiti look like a 🐢 poking along. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of heavy glass and power equipment at the watter line. Only clean sxs ride you will ever take lol I bet that fucker turns on a dime it had twin nosel controls and by the looks of it twin throttle controls to boot . All that said I would rather have a thick alloy 10 ft jet boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepybrew Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 how long will that engine last banging off the limiter? boat engines are "special" , border line race engine. not much runs and holds at peak rpm for long pulls like that. my buddy put a car engine in his boat, blew it up. cars don't sit a 4500 rpm for an extended period of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boats do NOT run max rpm's due to V-Drive gearing and Props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
