2006 B&H Performance boat Project
 
Hey everyone,
I figured I would start a thread on the boat I Just picked up last week.
A little back story: I started a restoration on a 1984 Checkmate Convicor 25' I picked up a 454 block with 502 heads off Craigslist, Since that time I have turned it into a 496 stroker with 10:01 compression eagle crank eagle rods and SRP pistons, i did a internal balance on the motor as well. The heads I had machined for a larger intake and exhaust as well.
the Convicor needed new floors and interior, while it was sitting at the fiberglass shop I cam across my new Jem. 2006 30' B&H performance boat. that Night after work I drove from Las Vegas to Phoenix to pick it up, I was back home just in time to go to work again. the price of the boat was amazing.
here are a few photos of the motor build and the new boat that my bank account has become victim too.

It doesn't look like 30' no disrespect, kind a set up like a Sunny with the cuddy bow rider look

DeanMiller412 06-26-2015 05:40 PM

yeah thats what i was thinking when i first went and looked at it It is a really tall boat as well which i think makes it look shorter my 25' looks longer than this one in photos.
its a mid cabin open bow from manufacture they say its a 2,500. extra cost when new. I prefer the open bow in the front makes for fun on the lakes which ill be running it on Havasu and lake mead maybe a few lake Powell trips. im debating putting my 280 K planes on this boat though I have to re gel the maroon in the back so idk if i should put the K planes on. the rest of the boat buffed out gorgeously. I hit it with Unique Big bite then with a foam pad it looks like new.

Blaquebaja they are lightnings I purchased them off craigslist brand new for 1,400.00 the guy bought them for his sonic with twins but the motors were too close together.

No Steve has owned 2 B&H - had a new 30 built about 4 years ago. I know him and Scoop very well. Scoop is / builds out San Berdardino CA and Steve G. is in Oklahoma. Steve hits every darn major event with his boat all over the USA. Steve and Scoop are good friends as well.

Steve really really likes his boat and B&H boats so he most likely will want to keep tabs on your project and put it on his websites. He has a about 3 or 4 websites -

Steve is a dealer for B&H as well.
