that's cool, I was watching an old Youtube video of a Bassmasters tournament on Clear lake (mid 2000's) and noticed Skeet Reese had a Champion Logo on his Jersey. Thats what prompted my question.
Skeet & Mike McClelland were in 210s the last 4 yrs Champion was building them. In 2010, Skeet went to Ranger and Mike went to Stratos, then after they shut Stratos down he moved to Ranger. Don't know what he's in now.
Mike McClelland is still in a ranger.....

Harold Allen ran champs for a little while. He's always been a cool dude, I helped him get his 203 right.
He pulled my butt out of a fire in '87 when my cousin and I won the oilmans tournament on toledo. Robert Hale was pitching a walleyed fit about two boneheads can't beat him fishing the south end of the lake. It really wasn't close, he got a trouncing, and Harold stepped up and got in Hales face and told him he watched us culling fives at 8:30, he knew exactly where we were and witnessed enough to verify. I've never seen such a pitiful sore loser.

Me. Champion just didn't know it.
Cindy Hill too.
I was wondering the other day about what ever happened to the Champions that McClelland and Reese ran back in the day. Those boats have to be around somewhere.
Yep! My 2001 196 is one of Skeet's boats. Brand new from the factory and delivered to me at my home by Skeet.
