    Looks to be in good shape from pics, I would check on the engine breakin period seeing only 2 hours on the rebuild , price appears in line with age , condition ,however does not mention what brand ,age , size(s) of electronics , so that may change price some
    I think it would be worth a look see

    Are these rigs 100% composite construction? How are the reviews? Coming from a champion 186..

    What model is it? If it is a 396 or larger is it a little under powered?

    That boat was used on Freak Finder Fishing. I think there were some motor issues? I would be careful.

    Also, looks like seats have been replaced (not necessarily a bad thing). I think those are the bassboatseats.com version. Definitely don't look like the original charger seats. And a red flag for me is usually when stuff in the ad is over stated. Like technically, its not a 20' its a 19' (19'3"), and I'm not convinced it is going to run low 70's either. None of these are reasons to veto it though. I love the colors and its worth a look and discussion with owner.

    Theres a 396 and a 296 in same price range in the BBC boats for sale section - just FYI

    Look up FREAKFINDERFISHING. They were the previous owners of the boat. It has had a hard tournament life. The boat just had a powerhead put on it. It needs new carpet also. There was large carpet decals peeled up. I was looking at it also.
