Please, Please, Please lay it out EXACTLY like the new 210, except of course a little bit shorter overall. Just leave room behind the Driver's console for a 6'2" guy to stretch out his feet and ALL rodholders fit an 8' rod. PLEEEAAASE. PERFECTION!

The 198 had the 206 style top cap, the 200/202 had the 210 style which is taller. Made for deeper boxes front & rear and a deeper livewell.
Iam sure they are using the 202 but will find out.
It's a 06 198
Hope they make a few tweaks to make it run a little faster!
If it is the 06 198 hull, then you can officially count me as on the waiting list!
Hull is done and top cap is in the works but won't be in 2 weeks.
Yeah feed us some pics of the hull!!!!!
Duane...other than the newer style console, my 2005 Elite topcap, storage, etc is identical to the 2004. You saw it when we formed the Home Depot Accord of 2004. Pretty sure the same is true for the 198 when it was moved from Elite series to the CX series. The 200, as you have noted, is different. That's when Stinson got involved.
Lea, I got one of the first 2004 models off the line, you had a late 2004 or early 2005?. Storage between my blue Champion 198 and your Red Champion was totally different. I wish I had pics right now to show you. Also, Stinson was involved in all the changes to Champion after 2004 as he was the lead engineer at Stratos/Champion Genmar.
Comparing storage/top on mine with the pics of the 04 in the brochures....identical except for change to console design. I yield to you regarding all later ones. Mine was built in Oct of 04.
back to the top.
At the owners tournament; Joe mentioned they are hoping to have it done in December if I remember correctly.
Charger 210 Elite
Just two more weeks
Anyone interested in pre-ordering? If you've seen the 210 Elite, you know that the 198 will be done just a well as the 210 was/is
