Actually a pretty clean boat for the MY and the Force motors weren't hard to work on. No bells and whistles. Not a hi po motor but for someone with small $$$ why not? As long as it checks out, $2K in today's market is a pretty good deal. Can always re-power cheap enough.

Cute little thing. What hp is it rated for, do you know?

[ToledoBendChamp]

I never knew they made a 14 footer. I have no idea what the rating on it is. I might slap a 150 on there and see what happens

One of the last short boats Champion produced was the 14 fter. Why John Storie wanted it built was beyond me. Again, my theory is it was to compete with Skeeter short boats. I'm not sure of the specs but know it was a Super V type hull but with a flat back transon (not a wedge hull). I've seen 3 or 4 floating around CL. These were built around the early 80's a year or so after the Mean 15. Max HP rating was 75. Not sure on beam. My father said he knew a dealer in Texas that ran one with a in line 150. Belive these were built until the mid 90's. Rumor has it that the 14 and 15 fters sold like hotcakes in Japan thru California distributors for a few years (Pat would know better). Kinda some neat Champ history tho.

Other examples of 14 fters
