    " For Sale" 1985 Convincor Twin Outboard

    Not sure, I’m a hot mess and all over the place. How about a 35’ cig cafe racer. Drive it a couple of years and repower with outboards.

    I am putting my 1985 Checkmate Convincor Twin Outboard up for sale. This boat has a new Pour-In composite transom, new stringers, floor and carpet.
