Default Checkmate 251 Convincor vs Profile 26

Good morning everyone. I have a quick question for you guys. I have a Convincor 251 that I love, great handling and pretty fast in my opinion. My buddy is looking at either purchasing a 26' profile ( I believe it is a 2001) 502 and bravo, 1988 Switzer 240 ss 496 and bravo, or a 1988 convincor 251 496 and bravo. My vote is for the convincor but I don't know much about the other 2. Any info/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

I also had a 251 Convincor and loved it. Great in moderate rough water ( 2 to 3 ft.) and fast.
