Thanks for the replies. I reached out to Tom Mann Jr today so hopefully I can get something setup. I can really only go in February or March. Any month better than the other down there? Oh and...

Thank you for the suggestion. I will reach out to him today.

Hi Everyone,

There are a few places around the country I've always wanted to fish and the Big O is one of them. To break up our cold Minnesota winter I'd like to come down to the Big O either the...

Thanks and it only happens sometimes if that helps diagnose it. I of course took off all the line and now can't recreate it, but something clearly isn't working right. Happened multiple times on...

Hi Everyone,

I bought a Shimano Curado 200ihg way back in the beginning of the season and had only used it a few times this year. I went to pull it out again the other day and made a cast and it...

Anyone got a pic of the hoodies? Would love to grab some.

Yes I do have the one with the hole for the bearing buddy. I can snap a picture after work, but it is the one with the hole. Appreciate the help.

Thank you. I will try that first.

Hi Everyone,

I've got a 2000 Champion 186 and lost the cover that goes on the rim that says "Champion" on it. I can grab a pic if my description isn't very clear, but if anyone knows where to get...

Okay so maybe it is full, but not 100%. I'll double check that first. Any other ideas or tips? Thanks for the help.

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2000 Champion 186 with a Mercury 175HP EFI motor. I bought it at the end of last season and it worked great. Had it winterized by a marine mechanic last winter and have...

Here are some pics of my new to me 2000 Champion 186. Previous owner took amazing care of this boat so should be a good boat for me for a long time. Major upgrade from my Nitro! 2787927880

I purchased a 2000 186 about 2 months ago with a 175 EFI. My speedometer is broke and I don't have GPS on it yet so I don' have an exact speed, but the boat is plenty fast. I would think mid 60's...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I have the curved bumpers for bass boats as they say, but I'll have to keep experimenting with places to tie them up so they sit high enough. I also appreciate...

Hey Everyone,

Where do you all hang your bumpers/fenders on your Champion while it is parked at the dock to prevent dings/scratches? I can't seem to find a good place to hang them from so they...

Bassin Butch....what do you use?

I've seen a few boats with a rubber mat attached at the front of the bow where your trolling motor propeller would rest. My new boat is mint except there are a few sratches in that spot from the...

Sorry appears to be a manual jackplate.

As I mentioned in some of my other posts I purchased a 2000 Champion 186 about two weeks ago. The previous owner bought the boat brand new and the dealer threw in a brand new jackplate with it. My...

Just bought my 2000 Champion 186 about 2 weeks ago. The previous owner didn't use the butt seats even 1 time so now when I put in the back seat it takes about 1/2 hour to get it out because it is...

Yes sorry for you loss. I lost my dad to cancer last August at the age of 52. Think about him everyday and sure wish he was here to see my new Champion boat, because he loved this stuff. Just...

When I put the drill bit in by hand it seems to hit something solid and stop. I am assuming it is a piece of wood or something lodged in the back. Any other options without it turning into a major...

Thanks Ed! That looks like mines big brother! Beautiful boat!

Haha yep went out today again and found myself doing a little more running than usual. I think I'm starting to like running in this boat more than fishing! Man I just can't believe how nice these...

That is what I heard as well, but just wanted to make sure I wouldn't damage anything else by doing this.
