    Pictures of Older, Rare, Different, Odd or Collectable ChampioNs

    Over the course of a few years I have been collecting pictures of Older, Rare, Different or Collectable ChampioNs (Mainly from Criags List). If you have any to add please do so if it meets the above criteria. Please add any information you can with the picture such as year, make, model ect ect. Hope everyone enjoys.

    1980 Champion Tunnel Hull. Only about 10 or so made.







    1981 201 I/O. Only a few made, didn't sell well and ran like crap. Pops said they were to heavy and just made the balance of the boat awful.




    201 Mirage Speed Boat (early 90's I think)




    Early 80's 16'8 "Swift" speed boat


    Early model 1980s 14ft Champion


    Mid 90's 14ft Champion


    1979 Champion Python Tri-hull (the Pythons were the econ models. Nothing more than a plain old champion with no top cap.

    Early 80's Tri-hull "Fish and Ski". One of the last years they made the old tri-hulls.

    Pic taken about a month ago of my older 184 Super V. The 150 XR4 Merc runs like it's new.

    Champion Contender:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/5432...2910852629109/

    Looks like an SX, but with a different wind-shield, and no black vinyl on the dash.

    I wonder if I can take that black crap off my consoles.

    Not sure if my boat is rare or just not a popular model, haha. 1991 168 with 115 Evinrude, I can't seem to find another example like mine. Single console, blue on black, blue carpet and a huge (for a boat this size) livewell. I will toss up a photo here soon.

    The 16'8 was Champions flagship model from 1976-1994. There's a TON of em out there.
