2003 Champion 206 Elite Rear Deck Storage Compartments
I just bought a 2003 Champion 206 and on the back deck of most boats, there are two storage lockers the two livewell openings; but this Champion has one storage lock, two livewell openings, a small cooler, and something that looks like maybe a livebait well. I'm just not sure what that compartment is for. I contacted Stratos for a copy of the owners manual, but it was generic to every boat from like 1996 to 2003. Is the 206 a Walleye boat or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to BBC and congrats on your Champ!
I have a 2001 206 Elite. The rear deck has 5 openings: two for the livewell directly behind the center seat and in front of the rear pedestal seat: one to the rear starboard which is for storage; one to the port rear for storage; and one center rear for batteries, oil, charger, etc. I believe that configuration was not changed for several years but I'm sure Lea will be along to confirm that. She is the Champ Guru!

Also Welcome to the Boards. 2006-206 (1)Starboard= 2-0n the rear side, wet storage (2)Port=1 large rear side, carpeted dry storage (3)Center=2 Large, behind the seats, live wells (4)Rear=Battery,pumps,charger and etc. My question is, could there have been some type of modifications. Just wondering. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

Welcome, Shaun!
Congratulations on your boat! You will enjoy that! It is not a walleye boat! Pure bass!!
On the 2003 (and most, if not all) 206s, the starboard rear has the cooler/wet storage with a drain, and a 2nd wet storage box. Double lids. My 198 is the same, so I use the 2nd wet storage box (no drain in that one on my boat..just in the cooler one) for dry gear. On the port side, a single large storage box. Mine is carpeted. Plus, of course, livewell lids and rear access to batteries, etc.
Hope this helps. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif
(Larry...pretty sure he is describing same as your boat...and mine...)

My dry storage has a pipe in the middle of it that looks like a fountain head. It must be some after market thing or something.
