Thought i would show you guys the new bottom design on the Convincor 300 i ran last summer......Notched the bottom all the way across the transom..pick up 5 MPH......

Who notched it for you? Looks like a nice design.

I work @ Checkmate.........we put an insert in the dual engine hull mold for singles.Worked out great it runs 68 GPS w/496 HO ........i procharged mine runs 80 +GPS.....not bad for a 30 footer(w/platform)

Here is my ride a 2001 240ZT with the 496HO / 425HP.
So far it has ran 73 on GPS.
This is my second CHECKMATE with the first being a 21" Starflite that ended up with a 2.4 EFI Bridgeport.
Next year maybe a ProCharger ?

BHOCKET, your zt looks good, I like the horse head w/the flag.
Here is a pic. of my latest checkmate. I bought it from a guy in Belair,Mi. over the winter.

Nice ZT240!!! I have the same model but smaller engine! Best I have seen is 68mph on the speedo. What are you seeing on the speedo. I almost dropped a 496HO this yr....think I will wait one more yr.
