Factory Shots of Convincor 2800 OBX (Discussion Thread)

[Chris]

Hey Gang,

Kip Combs was kind enough to send over some pics of a new model in the Checkmate stable. Introducing the Checkmate Convincor 2800 OBX! And this thing is HOT! This has to be the one of the nicest, if not the nicest Checkmate I've ever seen.

The Convincor 2800 OBX hull is based off the Convincor 3000 I/O hull, but instead of I/O power the 2800 is equipped with twin outboards. With the outboard set-up there is also some space savings which adds extra interior room.

The model pictured shows an optional poker-run interior set-up.

I think you'll like this one!

Enjoy!

Yes

Can't help but wonder how the boat would run with a couple of 350 Verados??? Would the xtra ponies make up for the xtra weight??? Would it run as fast as the twin 300xs??? Would the fuel economy be better or worse?? It would make an interesting comparison!

We've talked about this boat before. If it made hot boat for the june issue, it's probably been out since at least april.
I think Kip should get the info out earlier for all the Checkmate gurus to give it a better critique than some mixed reviews in a west coast magazine.
Awesome boat with the 4 bolsters

Sorry Budman this thing has been floating around since February. Here is the thread.

I would get a good look at it. Your lucky if Checkmate will ever sell 2 of them. I think Checkmate is topped of with 30 footers. They just don't seem to sell much of anything from 28 footer and over. And just my thoughts I think 90% of all Checkmates sold since 05 that is 28 foot or longer is for sale now. That is New, used, and leftover boats that can't sell. I am not knocking Checkmate I would like to have a 300 Convincor but I can't seem to justify the money difference between mine and the cost of a newer 300. Or maybe I am just not wide open into boating like I used to be.

 

[Budman]

OK, I missed that one.
So why does Chris post a thread of a new Checkmate in the stable if it's been out since feb.?

Its a Disussion thread on the boat.
