Mine is most definitely the navy color. Ill order from GLS right away. Thanks!
Mine is completely royal blue with no other color flake at all. The interior stripe is a darker navy/midnight looking blue. I'll just order from GLS or contact Polycryl but thank you anyway for the...

I have a 2004 196DC Champ HN# GCB96141L304 with a couple small chips in the royal blue poly flake side arrow. I contacted Min Craft and others in...
I'm a Champion fan through and through and have owned a '93 176 and my current '04 196. I was fascinated by Pat's detailed history of Champion. Would love to hear more.
Thank you Mr. Goff! -GS
Thanks Charlie 206, that is a great tip! You cant imagine how many hours and how much frustration I went through trying to fish that cable from the transom hatch thru to the breaker panel with no...
I have a 2004 196 and I'm curious if the seat pan design would be the same as pictured in Ed R's post above? I need to remove it to help access a replacement transducer cable I'm trying to route...
Early 2000's 20ft Champs are tough to beat...ride, fishability, quality, etc. Lots of fancy doo-dads and cup holders on Ranger boats but the ride and speed are severely lacking!
Tank isn't in the rear. Almost certain it's under the seats just like in your photos. I'll give it another shot tonight. Thanks again- GS
Thanks for all the knowledgeable replies on this! The Champion "family" is truly helpful.
I've had a second person help me with the fish-tape and pull string every time by adding tension and...
Thanks TX Champ for the advice. The problem when using a string to pull towards the front is the maze of plumbing, wire looms and control cables, along with flotation foam where the cable needs to...
I appreciate the suggestions, but the area from the breaker panel all the way back to the stern light is nearly impossible to access...as far as I can see. I've been rigging and repairing boats for...
After more than 5 hours of frustration I need some advice from the experts out there!
Last weekend on the freeway a large piece of plastic car bumper was blown in front of me and flew up under my...
Castaic and Casitas in the mid-80's. We averaged 1 fish over 10lbs. every trip from late Nov. to March '87-'89 on Castaic and had several double limits over 85lbs. Had fish from 11-14.4lbs for 6...

Best item I've ever bolted on my boat. Already has caught me a load of fish with absolutely ZERO issues!
36V/112 and the best single accessory addition I've ever bolted to any of my boats!! Don't hesitate to spend the $2500 if you're thinking about buying. Ultrex= AWESOME!
I have a 2003 196 w 200 Merc Opti and just love this rig! This is my second Champ and may be the last bass boat I ever need. Storage is great, economy is amazing, the ride is beyond compare and the...
Thanks everyone. I went to a local plastics supplier and bought a 5" x 7" sheet of 1/8" textured ABS sheet. Plan on using clear silicone to attach so it's clean with no holes or hardware I'm going...
Much appreciated- GS
Guys-
I know there have been several threads discussing custom cover plates to cover the hole where the old Lowrance unit resided. I have a 2003 196 and need to fill the hole now that I added an...
Thanks Guys. I think it's due to the floor of the well being slightly bowed-down below the drain level. There's a screen cover over the drain outlet and the lip of the cover is about 1/4" thick. ...
