That's the truth!!!! Nick told me to take the wheel when we were out Saturday. I ran it up to 70-75 and handed the sticks right back over to him. I am already nervous anytime I drive somebody else's stuff, especially when its as nice as Nick's 24, but my Checkmate doesn't walk anything like that 24x7. I have a new found respect for anyone that drives one of these boats as fast as y'all do.

Are all of you guys with the 24x7s' standing in bolsters or are you sitting down? If so you have big balls! At 6'2" tall I felt like a monkey standing on a football when I sea trialed one before buying my Thoroughbred 280. After bombing around in a 20' Outlaw this summer I am thinking about buying a 24x7 and converting it to a sitdown style vee.

Hi!
I have owned a 25 feet offshore hull for nearly 20 years. The boat is a 25 feet Phantom made in 1985. I have owned several engine packages, inkl twin Merc 2.5 EFI SVS Brucato engines. It ran 88 mph and accelerated faster than a Skidoo with 300 hp. Only 5,5 feet wide it is a balacing act indeed. The 24 -25 feet size makes it a great great fun to drive.
Cheeers, Toffen
