Nice looking boat! Question: I have a 2005 (198) and you say yours is a 2005 (196), why would Champion make both of those models in the same year? Am I mistaken in thinking they're basically the same boat?

You have a nice looking boat. A Champ on the trailer looks like a relaxed mountain cat waiting for something to pounce on. I like the boats with all flake. Nice !
GETFISHED !!!
Great job!!!... Dan
Must be a very good buddy to let go of his boat , better buy him a beer or two
Very nice !

Thanks everyone! And yeah what lea said is basically it. Mine does not have a live well pump out, just a drain.
Probably a long shot but anyone know if that small compartment in the front is available anywhere? Or would fabricating one myself be the best bet

Man I love that color combo!! Beautiful boat!
I've almost fallen off the boat several times because of that little 2" drop with the cooler, wish that sucker was flush with the deck.
I use that as my day box..lol

Sharp blue color on your sled. Looked at the 196 when I bought my 188. If the 198 was released, would've had it.
