The 28 Checkmate is a pretty big boat . Buddy has one and he built a small block for it pushing 600+HP. The boat GPS'd over 80 mph and it gets up on plane pretty quick with its power. Maybe that 502 is a bit tired?

The boat needs the drives tucked in and tabs slightly down negative for take offs. Likes to run with bow high so K-planes are must.
