Just curious how the performance is with the 4-stroke.

go down to West Central Marine in Lincoln, MO and take a ride in his demo!
A Champion is like a pre-rapala wiggle wart the new Charger ones just ain't the same lol.
My little brother has a 210 champion with a 250 sho. Originally had a 300 merc on it, but original owner repowered with a new 250 sho.
It is an animal.

What speed does he get?
Also curious what prop he is running?
The hulls must be identical since they were splashed from actual Champions. Since the ride is the thing with Champions, I suspect the Chargers will have that very same ride. I can't speak to the top cap appearance, but will be looking them over at the Classic. I definitely did not like the plastic appearing shroud on the consoles of the later Champions, or the panel of mega-link? "switches", and am glad Charger did not repeat these features. Not familiar with the "elevator buttons", since I have rocker switches.
Although, at my age, I will not need or want a new boat, I am glad Charger is keeping our hulls alive!!!!
(to the OP, sorry...this thread got off track just a tad!)

I have driven it with him to the mid 70s. I will send him a text and have him post exact details.
he runs a 36v TM and runs dual poles so his exact setup might be a bit different than yours.
25 Yamaha t1
76-77 top speed
Thanks for the info. That's a solid set up and I bet that thing pulls hard out of the hole!
Great speed with that set up! 10 inch jack plate?

Stratos 210 came out of an actual Champion factory mold. The Charger 210 came from splashing a Champion-built 210 from what I understand..top caps are a bit different. But both were the same hulls...a 210 is a 210.
The only rigs different from others were the 19'8" 200 and newest 202s. They differed from the original 198. I believe the Charger 198 is a splash from the original 198.
