My Son's New Boat

My 21 year old son picked this up in May. It's a Checkmate Predictor with a 115 Mariner. I have been having a blast in it too. I haven't even had my boat out yet. I'll be out for the Rondack Romp at Sacandaga this weekend.

Awesome boat for ur boy. how is it on gas?
Since he runs it wide open most of the time not too good. He went through 60 gallons the first weekend out. The guy we bought it from claims all day on 18 gallons. Maybe cruising.
Ya, boat like that its hard to just cruising you got to be balls to the wall. Being 21 doesnt help much either :laugher:

I thought they got better then that but when ur running those high rpm anything will guzzle gas.

I like those boat they look like alot fun
I love that little checkmate...


Your on a nice part of the lake to use that boat too..
all the young guys run checkmates up there :winker:

What's it run? 50-55?
Not sure yet. No speedo. It turns a 14 x 24 6300 with 2:1 gears if that helps. The previous owner said low 60's. We have a gps but haven't brought it up yet. In a little boat it feels fast. Especially when a nice wake comes along.
looks like a fun boat!


Congrats!
