    I would choose the 206.. .much wider....

    203 is nice but :

    the gas tank is directly in back and putting on power poles will put you under water....
    terrible rear storage except for a couple small Igloo cooler size boxes...
    too narrow like i said...
    I was standing right next to a 203 owner when this was announce and he said the exact same thing.

    The 206 with more storage and a few hull mods evolved into the 210, so that would be a duplication. I also saw on Facebook that they are looking for a 2004 203, which has the gas tank mid ship like the 198 & 210

    I have been in the 203 a few dozen times and it’s a nice boat but like said horrible side to side and no way will it carry and 4 stroke and poles on the ass.The 496 rides a lot better when it gets rough out as it has a deeper hull.I guess there’s a few guys that like it so build a few to sell is the idea.

    Oh I get it they are trolling for someone that sees the CHAMPION name to get there interest.I am not a boat salesman nor get any perks from any manufactures. I also do not float around on the key board trying to push what I think are the “only” boat to buy down others potential buyers throats. In other words pot stirs please do your stirring on the proper forums.If I want to talk Rangers or Chargers or Champions that’s where I go. GET IT!!!! JMO.
    Ain't you a peach.

    Hell it may sink with a Honda and poles it was designed for a 225 3.0l efi never 700 plus pounds.Sorta like putting a Honda on a 195.and poles and 4 batteries .....not going to end well

    Thats exactly why Rick said they had to do some minor modifications with their hybrid.

    I just don't understand adding another 20' boat to a line up already overloaded with 20' boats but, hey good luck and I hope it works out for Charger.

    I cant wait to see it. I hope that they do the center rod storage like the 198 and 210. The 203 will be a very fast boat with a 250 (the old Champ 203 with a 250 is very fast...77+ GPS). I like the narrow body champs and many old Champ owners like this style so this should be a great seller.

    If they are really going to do this they need to make it a rear tank model.

    Heard a rumor that Charger is desperately seeking a good condition, mid 70’s Champion 17’ pad hull boat to splash.
    Seems that whole American retro look is all the rage in Japan.
