    1996 Convincor 242 w/ 454mag MPI

    The money was great, which is why I settled for the 454 instead of a 502. The boat wasn't in as good of shape as the pictures showed/he claimed. I guess some people don't maintain the appearance of their toys as well as others. My 1988 Baja is near showroom, and this 96 mate really looked like a 66.

    I've been looking for a 24-27 ft. Convincor for a little while now, and think I may have found one. With this hull and engine combo, what realistic GPS speed should I expect? It's a bone stock 454 Magnum MPI hooked to a stock B1 drive. Thank you for your time. Joshua Winiger

    "Wanted" Mid to Late 90's Checkmate Convincor 253

    Hello all. I am new to the forums, but currently own a Baja. The wife and I are very excited about looking for our first Checkmate. We are looking for a mid to late 1990's 253 Convincor. I would prefer a mostly white boat with any paint scheme without pink, and I definately wanted the 502 Mag...
