60 ish would be my guess. Not alot of motor for that size boat but smallblocks are good motors for longevity and reliability. Take that thing for a ride and let us know if it is still to cold yet for a boatride.
2001 24 conv. http://www.nadaguides.com/Boats/2001/Checkmate-Boats-Inc it says 23 ft hull? @3300lbs . im kinda confused i was thinking it was a 22ft older 22 conv. hull with the swim platform length added any pics or a link . should be a mid 50's boat with a 350 a 6.2 ZT240 (22ft hull@ 3600lbs) with a 3 blade is good for about 60 or so mph
Blue, white and silver. My wife's been bugging me since last season for something bigger. Only problem is I love my Liner, has great seating capacity and runs reliably right into the low 70's. Also, just put in new floor and stringers with my bud Patroni 2 seasons ago, don't wanna do maintenance on 2 boats and don't have a good spot to store the 2'nd one.
Other than that I'm sold.

The hull measures 21'6" without the platform. AKA, Convincor 216/220.
Good hull for the small block.
Good hull for the small block.
thanks for clearing it up . i agree a 22 ft hull is ok with a small block

I just knew someone would grab the 'something bigger' part and run. Sim, I am feeling your dilemma around here too. Mrs. Jim has her sights set on a B,B,B, Bay, Bay, Big boat equipped with stove, fridge, rest room facilities, hot water, small mota, and alot of other stuff including acres of fiberglass hull to clean and polish. If she buys this thing, I'm gonna have to come up with some stickers that say Checkmate and maybe Tri-Level. I'm sweating but thinking about putting down a foot or two.

Assuming 4300 pounds (gas + people + cooler + etc.) and 310 at the shaft based on the above I'd guess around 59. That's assuming a constant of 221 which I use as an educated guess for my boat. But really only one way to find out.

i think the 6.2 has the good internals for boosting
I get about 20 spams a day addressing just that issue. What are they trying to tell me?

Heck, just go with a nice LS series SBC. 500-600 hp in a compact and light package would make that thing absolutely rock.
Right now I'm comparing and contrasting a 1992 enforcer 230 with a 454 mag to a 2001 convincor 24 with the small block.
I wonder how they ride compared to each other and compared to my Liner (which I think I'll keep-especially if I get the enforcer which is pink-so I'll have to name it "Hers"- which means I need a "His").
