Default 1977 Checkmate Convincer

Does anyone know if there is a museum for old checkmates, like a 1977 Convincer?

the 1977 19'10" modified v hull convincer my dad has should be in a museum! Thats a very cool and rare boat. He custom ordered it with the 233 mercruiser V8 (351 ford)! Had custom trim tabs installed to handle all the power. At that time only him and the owner of the checkmate dealer (who liked my dads idea so much had to have one also) had this boat with a V8. Ours is brown and gold mettalic and the sistership was blue mettalic minus the windshield plus nitrous. We still water ski behind it today. All original runs and looks awesome. Fast! over 60mph with a ski prop. feels like a overpowered surfboard! I will post pics once I learn how.
