Well after selling my 22' Scarab two months ago I finally pulled the trigger on a new ride. Got a great deal on a 1994 283 Convincer. Boat is mint and wasn't on the market but lucky for me I heard about it from a friend that knew of it sitting in a barn where the gentleman collected boats, cars etc..

Twin 525sc's
Bravo One drives
Stelling extension boxes - raised
Lathem steering
New gauges
New controls
K-planes
5 blade props
nose cones

Interior and exterior is all original and in great shape, only flaw was the checkmate decal was rough so I replaced it with the new style decal. Gonna have the windshield tinted next week with stereo and some trailer upgrades to follow. I wasn't looking for a Checkmate or even a boat with twins but after seeing 82 on the gps my first trip out I'm very excited!

Looking forward to getting more seat time, anything over 77-78 gets alittle squirly

Should have bought a cat. I sure love mine. 35 years of owning V's. I was overdue.

Congrats! That sounds like one heck of a Check! Once you get that dialed in it should run real good.

can anyone post pics if I email them over?

Running 24p 5 blade props, Ill likely leave the setup alone this year and learn to drive it..I dont think 84-86 will be an issue as it sits but with some prop changes I'd like to get in the high 80s!

Boat pulls like a beast, main issue is stability after 75...thats where I need to get more seat time in!
