Its a Ranger 622FS, about 23' long with a Mercury 400hp engine, 15hp trolling motor, electric trolling motor, 3 Garmin fish finders plus a bunch of other stuff. Mostly use it on Lake Huron (One of the 5 Great Lakes) fishing for walleye, bass, lake trout, steelhead and salmon. It should run about 60 mph but I haven't tried it yet.

I hope you raise that 15hp up while using the monster outboard !!! Expensive outboard !! I remember back in 1979 we put a 150hp Evinrude XP (2 stroke) on a 16ft Checkmate. Some scary shit, but was fun. But that 400 should easily hit 60. Raise that trim up at full throttle and see how fast it goes !!!

Thanks MikeB You're correct on trimming up the 15hp motor when using the main motor. Its got power trim :). I keep it down when trailering. I would think a checkmate with a 150 2st could get sketchy.
