Does anyone have a list of the still active pros that ran champions? Curious what they run now.

Skeet and Mike McClelland come to mind both in R boats now that are still active.

I can’t think of anyone else who is still active.
I've run one for 26 years, guiding.... does that count... LOL

There was also Pete Glusek, no longer active. And Jon from Canada. My bad...I don't remember his last name. JAson Quinn ran a Champ in the last years....haven't heard anything about him in awhile. There were others, but none still active to my knowledge. Also Glenn Delong. Not sure if he is still actively competing.

Jon Bondy (Canada), he is a guide, and still runs a Champ I believe.
Thanks, rude! I have brain cramps from time to time!
Yes, he runs a 210. Guides out of Windsor, Ontario on LSC and the Detroit river. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
Yes he is!!!!
Not sure there was ever more than 2-3 to start with
2021 Skeeter ZX150
2020 Sea Doo GTI se 170
Six mentioned already in this thread…..Not sure there was ever more than 2-3 to start with
I think Gary Yamamoto and his son both ran Champions years ago.
About ten years ago I was at Lake Powell and saw a truck with a Yamamoto sign on the camper shell towing a Champion, then the next day while visiting the Yamamoto factory in Page Az.I had met an employee and asked about the truck and Champion, that lady was the wife of the guy that I had seen.
Her husband is Ron Colby, who was guiding clients catching stripers that day.
She told me that I should have hit him up for a fishing trip, darn if I knew that ahead of time !
I thought I had seen some advertising pictures of the Champions somewhere related to the Yamamoto business. I think the colors were similar to Skeets boats.
Nelson
Brent Ehrler did for a few years
Interesting…I had never heard that Brent ran Champs.
Glen just joined the champion FB page
Storie sponsored a few and most were locals, guides and friends. There were a few I just don't remember them. Porthouse did a much better job in that area when he took over.
Kathy Magers also ran Champs when she was active with BassnGals. Top of the line angler! No longer active.
1999-2003 before he made the elites.
