Yeah, the lake I'm on is the "Houseboat Capital of Canada" (houseboat rental, that is). It's a good thing they move so slow with the bozos that rent these floating holiday trailers. When they come back in they have a 'pilot' take over...the companies don't let the renters dock them. and how the hell do you capsize one of these over grown pontoon boats? but at least one a year and a couple drownings.

P.S. also seen the 280 on FB...nice boat but 90 mph; only if I'm towing it. LOL.

70 does start to look like 90 on the non-gps dash gauge------ after you have drank 18 beers

Does that mean he also rode on the 'short' bus to get to school?

Now that all the is outa the way. Back to the point of this thread. The PQ kills the baja in speed, ride, luxury, room, and all out pimpness. fountain prob is a little faster but less room as was said by somebody earlier. never met anybody with a eliminator eagle...just daytonas so i have no input there. as for checkmate...nothing but good things to say about them. My good friend has a older 28' convincer and its a nice machine. Slower than my 280. obviously heavier. cockpit is a little smaller but the cuddy kills mine in space, it rides better than my 280 also. I drove his boat last summer at cumberland and went shoping for a 28'ter as soon as i got back. so i guess you could say the quality of a checkmate is the reason why i own a 28' PQ...if that makes since? LOL
