Congrats, least you got the post out! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

Nice ride! http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

I think thats the exact same hull as mine, and I have almost the same motor. 63 was tops for me...

Sorry to hear about the windsheild. I hope you find a place to do it for you. I have the same setup, so I know how its shaped. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif ...

It doesn't sound like the best deal on the price, but if they're giving you a great trade-in then who knows. My trailer is oversized too, but the bunks look fine, and haven't had any issues. Maybe...

Hey ploppin4bass, too bad that you don't live closser otherwise I'd say lets trade gas tanks! I have the big tank on mine, must be the 32 since its huge. I'd do just fine with the 18 gallon take...

Great work guys!

wbones, that Champion hull is sweet when its polished up like that and yours has plenty of sparkle yet. I'd agree with what most others say, and good the hear abaut the tires,...

Thanks for posting the question. I now know there's another option to flushing other than the muffs... if you don't want to run it.

I'll have to see if I have a flush attachment option, not...

Nice job, esp. the livewell storage area! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

There's a '98 181 for sale from VanBuren, AR (looks close to OK) over in the boats for sale section. Its priced on the lower end of your price range, and I've never seen a prop setup like that, so...

Love the stories! What about that demo tape? Is it the same one that uberchamp posted in '07? I love watching those breach stops in that video. Dont have the nuts to try one in my champ, but maybe...

I run a 23p Tempest, not quite the same boat as yours, but it seems to do the job. PVS plugs helpped a ton with the hole shot under load, but took a bit off the top. I've never gps'd it, but I can...

Nice! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

Thanks for the reply! Wondered if there was something more to it, guess you'd know after as many posts as you've logged here!

btw... went up to Rhinelander over the weekend, they're still running...

Not the ones that you can use in the posts, but the ones that display for each of the topic threads in a forum?

I can see them as I type this, but that still doesn't help me understand if a thumbs...

Thanks for the feedback! I picked up some plugs last night and I'm going to try them out. Looks like they aren't going to lift the no wake rule on the Madison lakes before the 4th, so I may need to...

Hey Dennis, wondering why you do better with a 4 bladed prop? I was thinking that I needed to go to one myself so I could pull my 300 pound brother out of the water, but now I see that I probably...

You should try nadaguides to get an idea if you haven't already, then adjust for condition...

So, I picked up the new numbers yesterday, and they screwed up the font, so they were free. After looking at them a while and wondering if I should just order new ones, I figured that I should just...

Sorry you missed out, that 1998 looked like a sweet deal. Throw an offer at the older boat, and at least you'll be out on the water.

Thanks for the feedback, I just ended up ordering from a place in town, FastSigns. They'll be ready tomorrow. I figured that I could just get a set on quick, then worry about perfection later. I...

Well I finally found my new boat, new to me at least. Not nearly as nice as some of your rides, but I'm now a Champion owner! Had it out monday for the first time, love it!

Now that I have it...

Nice work on the video!

I actually watched a skeeter video that was out there too, and its nuts how much better the Champion hull handles through those turns!

Nice thread. Its very reassuring considering that I just bought a 2000 181SX yesterday. I drove a Nitro the day before, and after test riding this boat with a 150 on it, and nearly flying down a...
