first of all i know they are,i have had three of them and liked all three,changed brands in 05 have had some things i dont like with this company,but one thing i do know when you request something from this company (basscat) you get results in a timely matter, no asking agian and agian and no response i knoe everyone is busy,but have tried more than more times than i should a have to say to get a simple 08 brochure, this is the reason i tried another brand in 05,felt like genmar was putting champ on the back burner and they are still proving it still,i look at dealers like c&o and they run them off,they have angler of the year fishing out of there boat and yet see nothing of it, just a shame they have a good product ,and a great following,and yet seem to not care,makes you think they dont want to be around,i am trully sorry i have to vent here, but i dont think champ fans are asking for to much, tony![]()
