    Sold my Checkmate

    After trying for some time, I finally sold my Checkmate. I've owned boats for over 30 years and must say the Checkmate was the finest boat I've owned. The only reason we sold the boat was we just didn't have time to use it, had the boat in the water twice in the last three years. We had a '98...

    253 Convincor?

    I have a '98 253 with the small 454 (310hp) you will be very pleased with the ride of the boat. I can't give opinion about high speed, as mine will only run 60mph, but at that speed it will ride as smooth as any boat on our lake (Kentucky Lake). With the trim tabs, you can take out the rough...

    '98 Checkmate

    Greenbay Sorry that was a one time event, we had a great time except it rained all weekend and some of the boats had to dodge a tornado. That was about 4 years ago, over 30 boats were suppode to make the trip and due to bad weather only 5 boats made the trip.

    CONVINCOR/VISION

    I've got a 253 Convincor with a 300 hp 454 that will run 60 mph and can run that speed in 3' chop all day long. I have a buddy that had a 23' Baja with a 700hp 502 that would run 74mph, in rough water, I could out run him. I will take the ride of a Convincor over anything else I've ridden in.
