The folks at Checkmate are very helpfull. Checkmate 300 on this board will get you an original catalog from 1992. They sent me one for my 229. They support their boats long after the sale.
Good luck with the 251. It's a great hull which will handle all the HP you can throw at it.
I'm looking to move up to a 251 or 253 as soon as someone buys my 229. Welcome to the Checkmate family.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. What power is in that 251? My friend owns an '89 251, we just did the motor this winter. Can't wait til the weather gets a little better to see what it will do. Mine is '99 259, basically stock 454 magnum. I get 67-68 G.P.S. , 70 - 73 speedo. Great boat. For the money, I don't think you can beat Checkmate.

Last season my boat ran a best of 75.2gps @5150rpm with a Hydromotive 4 blade 26p. The motor was a stock and come to find out very worn out HP500 carb.
I pick the motor up from the builder this week. I'll post some dyno results next weekend. I hope the boat does 78 or so with the new motor. I can't wait to hit the water!!
