Back then, Checkmate was a factory built entry level performance boat, well priced and good value for the performance. A tough business model now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/a1b829c3-b508-403e-a8f2-60e76946c502/Checkmate2400show.jpg Articles - What Constitutes an Entry Level Performance Boat in 2025? - Make it stand out Pete Caldwell, me and Ben Robertson in front of one of the last Checkmates built by Caldwell before selling to Velocity recently.

That’s me in there. Baja was the epitome of low cost, entry level performance. Later on the designs just weren’t that great and the smaller hulls didn’t perform.

Cats and center pods are popular because they are much easier to drive than a pad V. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/873342fc-5913-47d5-9340-619348a711b8/MercuryRacingXSlineup.jpg Articles - What Constitutes an Entry Level Performance Boat in 2025? - Make it stand out The Mercury Racing outboard lineup back in the 90s was much more hardcore and accessible in a way, from the 300X, 200XS and the 2.5, you had lightweight power with all the ingredients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/4049dc46-48ce-40a6-a1c2-c75fb0feded5/Donzi16show.jpg Articles - What Constitutes an Entry Level Performance Boat in 2025? - Make it stand out Me in a Donzi 16, which started and defined a new era of entry level performance, proving that small boats are more fun and really cool.

This is the first 450R factory class MTI 390X, raced by John Tomlinson and Taylor Scism. A popular class that is growing every year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/7a6812a7-eb3e-4c6a-b0f1-2068c732b803/500RRdrive.jpg Articles - Mercury Racing and Trickle Down Technology in Marine: The Future of Outboards - Make it stand out The Mercury Racing R-Drive has to versions, R and R Sport, with adjustable “cone tips” and different skeg designs, the R Drive can accommodate almost any use. The large 5.9” case can run 17” props and uses a 1.5” advanced alloy propshaft found on the M8 Racing drive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/81d4734e-d395-479b-b9f5-45b18d8d9f69/Allison+gearcase+mod+bare.jpg Articles - Mercury Racing and Trickle Down Technology in Marine: The Future of Outboards - Make it stand out On my Allison Grand Sport, I spent a lot of time modifying the gearcase of the stock Mercury 150, and I found about 10 MPH just in gearcase and setup. With boats, efficiency is less about the engine itself and more about the hull design, gearcase and overall setup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/a263f35c-7588-4fd3-9bc5-ef1a8f9efe92/400RV10black.jpg Articles - Mercury Racing and Trickle Down Technology in Marine: The Future of Outboards - Make it stand out The naturally aspirated V10 400R is a compelling big power outboard. Forced induction works when the power to weight trade off is there. You could argue a really light small 4 cylinder with forced induction could keep the weight close to 400 Lbs, while exceeding 200 HP. The current V6 and larger 4 cylinder don’t have the weight benefit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/04b08d17-4132-4f27-89b3-be3357f4375e/500RARC.jpg Articles - Mercury Racing and Trickle Down Technology in Marine: The Future of Outboards - Make it stand out The Advanced Racing Core on the 500R, a beefy mid section, the 500R integrates steering and reduces noise vibration and harshness. A heavy and complicated mid section like this makes no sense on smaller engines, where NVH is way over done in my opinion, stiff durable mounts and simple integrated electric steering is probably what we will see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/05b8339e-cf58-45e5-a9a2-e4f18055d056/Merc+150+Allison+seastar+steering.jpg Articles - Mercury Racing and Trickle Down Technology in Marine: The Future of Outboards - Make it stand out Traditional front mount hydraulic could be out in favor of new full electric front mount.

These are getting old. Unless you are hardcore, I’m not sure about a restoration on these but they look cool and way ahead of their time. Unbolting those Honda’s and taking them to a scrap yard would be the first step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1582136287367-GLKEMAQSWA4P2VEKKJ62/SeaVee+290+twin+yamaha.jpg Articles - Old School Center Console Boats: Offshore on a Budget The original SeaVee 290, a solid boat that is much sleeker than a new 290. Narrow, pretty fast and well built. Many are setup for hardcore fishing, but you could set it up to be a better performer. Great boat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1582135490487-W4ZMLVYJ2DHJQ92J58FF/Concept+27+transom.jpg Articles - Old School Center Console Boats: Offshore on a Budget The Concept 27’ is an evolution of their original 25’, with the running surface extended, and transom integrated. Now 26’10” overall, narrow 94” beam, and 24 degree hull and only 2,600 Lbs make it pretty fast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1582135828458-DGHOXOTBVWQGF9IROIFM/Contender+32+cc+yamaha.jpg Articles - Old School Center Console Boats: Offshore on a Budget Older Contenders are very well built, great performers.

Sand the graphics off, paint the sides.

This 30’ Concept is much the same as the old school ones, with modern updates, still might be the best looking sport cc on the market now.

From the materials to the design, the big Donzi misses all the marks to me. Those seats look like they are from a Star Trek themed porn set.

It’s double overhead cam design means it could make way more power and rev quite a bit higher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1536895126707-41IWHLVXUGOVBA1AAVBT/4Piston+engine.jpg Articles - Are Four Stroke Outboards Good for Tuning? The Case for the 4 Cylinder 4 Piston Racing focuses primarily on Honda, and their cylinder heads and race engines are incredible, and border on art work, with the impeccable attention to detail. They also make insane power. A K24 seen here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1536874894210-B9LNH0Q3PMHWKJ214W68/150ProXS+lower.jpg Articles - Are Four Stroke Outboards Good for Tuning? The Case for the 4 Cylinder - Gears Gears are very misunderstood. Most new outboards are geared to push houseboats and freighters. Low gears don’t work on efficient hulls, they force you to use high pitch props, and slow down the prop shaft speed, which is bad for efficiency. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1536874399036-XIJNR3JBJHYXC193RGAT/Evinrude+150+HO+trac.jpg Articles - Are Four Stroke Outboards Good for Tuning? The Case for the 4 Cylinder - Power / Weight Evinrude missed the mark a bit with their 2.7L 150-200 platform. In 200 HP form, it has decent power to weight, but is 495 Lbs. Not my favorite color here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1536874048704-2JU2TUS2M0TIHI5LHPT4/Mercury+150+ProXS+4.jpg Articles - Are Four Stroke Outboards Good for Tuning? The Case for the 4 Cylinder The good: 3.0 liter displacement, low water pickup, 456 Lbs, it’s a Merc and it looks pretty good.

The big fishing and center console boats are getting faster and faster. Nice engine with a bullet nose, low water pickups, but a little heavy for real performance use, and sloppy mounts. Looks cool though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1520640497292-UIQHNBOO18EHLPK1KG4T/Evinrude+G2 Articles - Precision Handling: Lower Units, Mounts, Steering The Evinrude G2 has a unique bracket with integrated steering and all rigging in one tube. However, the mounts are what really make or break a good steering system. Mounts with play will hurt handling at high speeds. Unless your engine is from Mercury Racing, your mounts are probably a weak link. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1520640650302-P4HJRSO8LEH1UQIW0FBP/Bob%27s+Machine+jack+plate+white Articles - Precision Handling: Lower Units, Mounts, Steering A Bob's Machine jack plate, powder coated in white, with a popular Uflex steering system.

When you cut the throttle on a jet, you lose steering. Guess what people do when they panic in a boat?

Active Thunder has embraced outboards offering 3 models. 2 versions of the 29, the Savage and the Defiant as well as the 33 Express. At 29 feet with an 8.5" beam they should ride really well.

The classic 28 Pantera, narrow and deep. Built to run hard offshore, you see them around Miami and as a custom built boat, there are some outboards. You can find vintage outboard Pantera race boats too. The old i/o versions would convert nicely to OB. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/596d2c30d7bdce7d9e727a92/1501791813345-9AO822JAICUTISW197WY/Outerlimits+SL-41 Articles - Offshore Resurgence: Are Big Outboards Better than Big V-8 Sterndrives?
