    Before we get too deep into this...and I really don't mean to be a downer...Every announcement I have seen so far, says Ranger, Stratos, Triton. No mention of the Champion brand at all.

    Remember when Genmar acquired Javelin? For a brief while, they had a Stratos model called Javelin...and then that too, vanished. When PE bought Genmar, the Javelin brand/name/etc was not included. Genmar had effectively killed the brand.

    Since PE consistently declared Champion no longer exists once the Stratos Elites did not take off, I'm not sure any petition could do any good. If, on the other hand, Champion name and logo are somehow buried in the paperwork included in the BPS acquisition...well, who knows.

    Yep, that's why I also said, "If, on the other hand...."

    I keep hoping someone will have seen something in the paperwork which indicates that Champion is included in the sale.

    If your signing and someone starts building them again is everyone gonna go out and order a new one? The 203 was brought back because people wanted them but hardly anyone bought one. PE still built the same exact TN hull only with a stratos name on it and still not enough sold to keep the hull.

    Not being a Debbie downer but there has to be sales to keep a product around.

    Maybe, if Johnny doesn't treat Champion like a bastard child they'll actually sell. It was no secret where marketing money went with Genmar. P&E didn't listen to the buyers and it killed em even more. Ya, lets piss off the customers even more and put a Stratos name on the side. Great idea. Ya don't wanna be supportive of em fine. Don't sign it.

    I want to include what a friend of mine had said to me from C&O Marine: If they didn't destroy the molds? now is the time to start asking Johnny.. More people talk more of a chance
    I have told people on both ChampioN Boat owners and ChampioN Boats ( both are groups on Facebook ) VOICES MOVE MOUNTAINS!
    I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR DOING THIS
    Last time I checked the petition there were 60 signatures, we had 23 yesturday and over 40 today..

    Funny thing Lea, every time I've been to the plant in Murphreesboro, there was still a Javelin banner hanging on the wall.

    When they brought the 203 back it wouldn't run like the older ones cause they changed gas tank locations from the back to under the seats.

    I agree with Mpierce - until we have a clear statement that Champion doesn't exist and the molds are toast it's worth the effort. And from current, former or potential Champion owners too.

    I believe more set back seemed to be a fix for the newer 203's.
