    1998 Champion 221 Elite

    I have the 1998 Champion 221 Elite (serial numbers match) featured in the 1998 Champion Boat brochure. I know that doesn't make it any more valuable but it is kind of neat. The boat is still solid and tournament ready. The motor runs great and is low hours for it's age. The top cap has several spider cracks. I think the transom is solid but would want it checked out an repaired if needed. I need to get a ball park estimate on a restoration. Do you folks have suggestions? I'm in SW Kansas so I know I will be hauling it half way across the country. I just don't think I can buy a boat that I will be as happy with as my old Champ. Thanks

    Kind of depends on level of restoration. Top cap and transom only - my estimate is 5-6k done right
