Paul,
I didn't see the 30 Convincor when I was there. It was raining so I just checked the boats out in their main showroom area, mostly high dollar go fast catamarans. I think this would be a good place to buy a boat. I am sure they can take for a ride and my impression of the sales staff was that they were experienced and honest.

I talked to them today. Nice guys. The 1999 is a consignment. They will not take a trade. It was owned by several people and was not taken care of like an individual owner would. They said they have a 2001 also on consignment the guy has had several Checkmates and may be interested in a trade. So my thought is back to my plan A. Try and get my boat in front of my business since this is our busy season and see if I can get anyone interested. If I still have it at the new year I will hunt trading it in harder.

The boat used to be slipped at Parkview Bay back when MP had a condo there. We know the guy that owns it. He then moved over to Lands End and the last few years the boat has been for sale residing at both a broker at LOTO and now at LCM. Charlie (the owner) still pulls it out every year to run it at the Shootout and this year was no exception. He normally wins his class with the boat. Runs between 82 - 84 MPH. Stock 500's. He used to race F-2 back in the day...hence the F-2 numbering on the boat. Kevlar boat with no v-berth.

Yes they did. The boat ended up selling for 28K. I ended up paying Lake Cumberland Marine 10% commission. I want to thank Lake Cumberland Marine for selling the boat. Dan Candido was great to deal with-very professional. I am confident I would not of been able to sell the boat this winter without the assitance of Lake Cumberland Marine. The Checkmate will be missed
We had some great times with that boat!
