235/234 Persuader
219/218 Persuader
183 Persuader
Stilleto Open, and Closed deck.
Convincor 240 (was also called a 220)
Convincor 242, regular deck and the Sport Deck. (later called a 260)
Also the deck mold for the 251 Convincor.

Be nice if you could make the 185/186 Pulse about 350 pounds lighter than CMate made them so the 175 outboard had a chance to perform. The 183 Persuader was my prettiest boat!

What ever happened to the Predictor molds. Its hard to belive that the molds for such a popular boat are lost forever.
A new Predictor with a 8-10"pad, fuel tank under the rear bench, and glassless wind shield would be sweet

Heres your chance JW, show Checkmate how its done. I am sure Coop would lease/loan you the molds.
Just dont make it Black, its too hard to keep clean.
