When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Checkmate Convincor 270 BR 2012 and the Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX 2013 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Checkmate Convincor 270 BR 2012 at 27,0 ft versus Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX 2013 at 24,0 ft. At 4 lbs and 22 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Checkmate Convincor 270 BR 2012 carries a rated maximum of 425 hp. Engine data for the Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Checkmate Convincor 270 BR 2012 carries 75 gallons versus 63 gallons in the Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Checkmate Convincor 270 BR 2012 at 27,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Checkmate Pulsare 2400 BRX 2013 at 24,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
