New to this forum and thought I would say hi with a pic. Got this boat and trailer late August (without power) and bolted the jack plate and motor to it just this past Saturday. Boat is a Checkmate Pulsare 2000 BRX and the motor is a 250 ProXS on an 8" Bob's Action Jack. Still got a bunch of rigging to do but it will be interesting to see how fast she runs considering it's a full liner bowrider and easily double the weight that my V-King was.

Here's what the inside looks like. Tons of room due to the crazy 100" beam :shock:

Beautiful checkmate, I've always had a soft spot for them, beautiful and stable boats.

I don't boat in Midland area but that is where that picture was taken. Good eye! I boat in Muskoka for the most part but I have been known to trailer over to a buddy's place at Gloucester Pool once and a while.

Thanks! Great looking Hydrostream there. My previous boat was a V-King (built in 2001) and I loved it, but unfortunately due to a growing family I was getting out in it less and less as time marched on. I would totally miss it if it wasn't for a very good friend of mine buying it, so I will still get to visit it regularly. :)

Nice! Boat looks great! How fast will it be? Faster than you think... hahaha. I would bet 82-85 with a little set up. Set that bitch back 12+" for top end.
