Love this group and love these boats. As I dont currently own one (but really want to) am d after reading the great articles here, I was wondering what the problems were or the 1992 champion 180. The article I read said that the '92s were disastrous. In what sense?
There's one on the market here locally. Its wrapped in camo and the pictures are horrible. I've asked for pictures of the hull I'd plate. And the engine serial number as it has an old merc offshore on it. I thought it may have been a 19 foot model not the seller says its 18. After re-reading Pat's article, questions Mark's now swirl, esp after the seller says it hasn't been run in over a year. Wondering if this is even worth a visit.
I'll post the link to get your opinions. Any input would be great.
I'm dying to get Into a champ. My body has a 191 cant remember the year but mid 90s i think, with a optimax 225 and the things that boat can do is just awesome. I'm secretly hoping he seeks but not holding my breathe haha
