    Can't understand why people insist on running at speed with limited or no visibility. Hope he is going to be alright.

    coming through the windshield on a fish and ski, that's gonna leave a mark. Hope he fares well.

    It looks very similar to my 2000 190SX with the middle window removed. Did Champion ever build a non F&S with tempered glass over the consoles?

    Fish Hunter perhaps? I've never seen the front deck of one. It's definitely not a bass boat. Holes in the front of the driver console for cushion snaps?

    I think it is, look at how tall the top cap is, how small the deck is, the shape of the console with that tall vertical corner, and there is a metal window frame there.

    Any updates on condition of the driver?
    Seems more interest in the type of boat, than the driver's condition.
    Hope I don't ever have an accident. Everyone will wonder how my boat is.
    Please don't take offense, I understand...Just sayin'.

    Ok, I called the hospital he was taken to, and he was brought into the ER on the night of the 23rd, and was released that same night.
    Apparently, he was able to go home, so his injuries were not life threatening.
    Good to know.

    Now, What kind of Champ is that again?

    Its definitely not a Fishunter.... in the 90's, the Top Cap did not look like that. It sure looks like a windshield frame, so that would be a SX..

    Like this?

    I agree that it looks like a SX, but in 1993, there was not a SX. It was still a Fish & Ski ... or a bass boat without the raised deck and cushions on the locker lids. SX showed up in 2001, I believe.

    Obviously, I cannot see. Can I use 8 eye operations (so far) as an excuse?

    My 93 brochure shows a 190 SX in it. The 190s, and a couple more sizes, were made thru 2007. Great fishing platforms. In 2008, they intro'd the 214SX which was more ski than fish.

    Yeah, I see it now in my brochure ... right under the picture I posted above. They also showed the Fish & Ski in several lengths as well as the Mirage
