Come on checkmate zt suck it up! I drove from Chicago to Hudson NH to get my 251 GTX in Jan. lol all in fun. ....

I lookeg long and hard for one. Seemed when I was ready to buy they all dryed up and where gone.

I am happy with mine. Hope I am still happy when we hit the water the first time. I did get to hear it run just no water test.

Paid a little less for it than than the one i was looking at. But have sunk enough into it to match them, New External steering, New vinyl on the inter. .....etc

Good luck with the search

I know, I know ,its just that Ive kept my truck in the garage all winter, out of the salt and its so nice and shiny setting there, it would be a sin to drive it in the salt now.

My 280 Convincor is for sale but it has inboards. If you decide to switch to the other side let me know. All of our snow is about gone.

Thats a beautiful boat. With the whipples its most likely out of my price range.

As you may know Mike Burris has a 25 w/2 omc's for sale on S&F. Trade Winds in IL had a 28 Last Fall w/2 200 stockers. Sharky has a real nice 28 w/2.5's but I don't thinks its for sale, Good for reference though. There is another on S&F w/22" brackets w/mercs. The 28's are nice w/a big cabin. Kinda small cockpit.

I you may recall I rigged and sold my 1985 convincor. I rigged it with 2 nice running bridge ports on manual CMC brackets righ on the transom. This boat flew like a big hydro stream. It was quite a site at very close to 80 w/26 choppers at close to 8000. It did have the annoying hop that these early designs were know for. I can contact the guy that has it if you wnat me to.

It was a nice 60MPH boat w/a Monte V8. It was much more fun with the twins but you had to know how to drive it. Hammer it through the hop/pull up the K-planes and hang on.

ZT, The 28's will be real hard to find. When I picked mine up last year and contacted the factory, they told me that they only built around 19 of the outboard models. I have a rare boat in "like new condition" Just got lucky I guess...
The boat was rerigged with new Merc 2.5 EFI Offshores and Gaffrig guages. I am in the process of upgrading the propshafts to the thicker models.
