Kinda makes you sick doesn't it ...That was one of the first at the PE dealer meeting. Going forward, I understand the Champ emblem will be coming back with like a by Stratos tag not so prevalent. The one good thing for Stratos is that they now have the best riding hull around ...

By the by, that is a 202 which is rated for 225 ... and the Stratos decal will peel off![]()
Also heard that when PE gets Triton into the fold, that Triton badges will appear on the side of the Ranger hulls as a way to get rid of the Triton chine walk ...![]()

I would think that they would sell more boats with a Champion sticker rather than a stratos.
Not trying to put down the Stratos boat as they are a good hull and would own one in a minute but I think the Champ name is more marketable.......If it were me I would have a higher end Champion line and an economical Stratos line.![]()
I found me a Ranger in Tulsa....just not sure I'm ready to pull da triger.
I was thinking I could get a better deal in the middle of winter.
When your ready to go on that boat shopping road trip hollar at me.![]()

I looked at the new ChampioN line up and what I saw was a new line of Stratos boats. If I was looking for another ChampioN I think I would look at the line built before PE got them. Mine should last me the rest of my fishing time but if I ever decide to buy another bassboat I will shop around and decide what brand to get then. In my time I've owned 1 Skeeter, 2 Cajuns, 2 Rangers, 1 Bass Tracker, and 2 ChampioNs. I have liked each one of them and would buy another of either. In my neck of the woods there is a Skeeter dealer and that is the only bassboat dealer in Waco. I would look there first.

Man Reggie wake up, Champion is the thing of the past.You know how a Ranger is a stable fishing platform. Not like the Champion you have now that will dump you in the lake if we both get on the same side.
