    95 champion elite 202 bass boat vs fish and ski

    Looking at a potentially purchasing a 1995 champion elite 202. In the picture it looks like a fish and ski.

    is there major difference in the hull or performance between the fish and ski and bass boat?

    Here is the link.

    That does not appear to be a fish and ski. What causes you to think it looks like one?

    In 1995 brochure, the 202 fns had padded front compartments. NO difference in the FnS and non FnS 202 hulls..

    When you look at the front deck it is significantly lower than other 95 champion 202s. Looks like the pads have been removed but you can still see where they attached in front of both consoles.


    So it is the same Hull.. Thank you!

    No difference in performance. Appears to have the snap in cushion options. A true FNS has permanent cushions.

    Ah..I was looking at the rod lockers. The FnS boats I have seen had the lockers opening from out to in. However, I am used to the ones with permanent cushions, not the snap-in option. Nice looking boat, for,sure!

    Same here plus i thought a true FnS also had the hand rails further forward didn't it? I think that one just doesn't have the raised deck and provisions for snap in cushions like Fred said

    Yep on a FNS the rails go forward almost to the end of the locker.
