Pat Goff posted a message a couple of weeks ago that had a link to craigslist. It would allow you to search all of craigslist everywhere at once. Lots of Champs on there just like your looking for dirt cheap.
Also check your IM's.
That boat in the link is nice. The motor is a Ficht.
Thanks guys!! That is a nice rig!! Just a little to far to drive to check out,I am about 60 miles southeast of Little Rock Arkansas. Maybe something will come up closer. Thanks for keeping your eyes open
I thought the Ficht stated RAM Ficht on them.. Thanks for the correction!
Nice looking boat though....

When I was looking for a 19' with a 200 5 years ago, I ended up buying a used 203/225. I couldn't find a 19 footer for nothing.....several 20 footers were around just no 19's. Does it have to be a 19 or would a 202/203 work? Might be easier to find

I had no idea how few 19s there are around.I just think a 19 would work better for where I fish. We get in some areas with push pole so it would be a little less pushin!! I'm not in any hurry so maybe something good will turn up.Thanks
I drove 25 hours one way to look at my Champ.
Gave the guy a check within 5 minutes
If the right one comes along I would do the same thing you did.I found my 184 by accident but I didn't hesitate buying it.It has been an awesome boat.But ya'll know how it is when you the get the bug.Truth be told I probably should just find a 175 and hang on the 184.Probably would make a big difference.The thing turns like a sports car.If you guys could see where I go and how tight it is you'd understand. I have to make a 90 degree turn in extremely shallow water, on pad to get to my favorite area and the 184 does it no problem. I've seen boats up in the trees at this spot. I won't run anything but a champ.Sorry I got a little carried away!!!!!!
There is a nice 2000 (year) 193 (model) at Morton Marine in Owasso, Ok. Has a 200 merc efi. Slick boat asking 14000. They have had it awhile I am sure they will take less. I don't know how far you are from hear North of Tulsa. But Morton is a great dealer. Only issue with them is they carry skeeter. I could take a closer look at it for you if you like. I would take lots of pics too.
BUY IT! It is a shame that a Champion has to set at Morton.
Got a 1995 190 in my driveway. So far, I love it. Rides good, decent speed, decent sized deck, good storage. I haven't really aired it out to see just what it will run but it gets me from point A to B. They ride a lot better than you would think especially the more you learn about driving them.

I have a 206 dual console 2001 Model in very nice shape that I MIGHT part with.225 Merc.
I am about an hour from Little Rock. I don't think that would be to far to go.And thanks for the offer to check it out.That would great, But I don't want you to go out of your way.Thanks for the info,I'll try to find a website for that dealer.
IF the 190's ride as good as the 184 I'll be happy.I'm not worried about speed to much.I like a good handling boat that fishes good. I've never been in any 190's, how do ya'll think they compare to 184's. Thanks
It is not out of my way I live 1 mile from the dealer.
Thanks for offering to do that.I would like to take a look at it.
