2009 22' Bay Champ - Specs Needed

[jbabin76]

Thanks Pat. Cajun Outboards in Addis, LA sold a ton of Champion bay boats.

This looks like what I'm looking for....

That's the exact one (style) I was talking about. And the style I like. If you find two buy me one and I'll get Lea to send you a check!

Yep...that's your target.

I have ridden in all of them. The 2200 is a price point boat that is ok. The 22 sea champ and bay champ are the same hull with a different cap. The 24 bay champ is flag ship of the bunch. The 21 bay champ is the original and rides better than any of them except the 24 bay champ. The 24 bay champ is the best of the bunch. Plenty of room and exceptional rough water performance. The 22 bay champ and sea champ rides are decent but not spectacular.

If you've never been in the 24, the 22 is actually spectacular, you're just spoiled...

I agree with that, tough to go backwards in life.

Thinking of buying a 2006 22 Sea Champ with a 225 Yamaha 4 stroke. Any pro's or Cons to that hull? It's in excellent condition.

22 sea champ. any issues to avoid?

[pmgoffjr]

Nothing the standard inspection of a 14 year old boat would need.

[gjcollum]

So do yall think its a good model or not. I see where some are saying its a Stratos pop off and to avoid, some say its the same quality as Champion. So what is it? There is little info on the web.

[pmgoffjr]

The build is champ. It's a big boat, if that's what fits your fishing area, by all means go for it.

22 Champion just got listed on louisianasportsman.com classifieds.
