Well, its official, I sold my Champion last week. There will be a new member on here for the Champion Nation so keep an eye out for him and welcome him to the fold. We took it out yesterday for a ride and fished and did pretty well for the middle of the day and he really found out how much he like his new Champion's ride and fishability!. Anyway... I'm wanting to get a boat the family can use, and I was wondering if anyone knew what I should expect from a fish and ski model vs. what I've become used to on my bass boat. My champ w/ 3 blade prop took a good 5 or 6 seconds to get up on plane (way to long for a bigger skier or boarder). Is that similar to what I should expect from a fish and ski model? Does a 4 blade prop make that much of a difference and do the fish n ski models sit that much higher that they pop out of the water that much better?
