The new 26 Checkmate Convincer is a true 26 foot running surface. The added swim platform either in Tubular or Fiberglass makes it a 28 L.O.A. (Length over all).
Its all new from Checkmate and we are promoting just the actual running surface on this new 26 Convincer and calling the boat a 26 available in stern drive or twin outboards.
A single 600 S.C.I will gladly fit in the engine compartment.

The Checkmate 270 is a 25.9 running surface and the added platform makes a 27 foot boat over all.
The two are completely different Checkmate models.
