    201 Coastal Champ or 194 Fishunter?

    I just found the original receipt from when my boat was bought new by the person I bought it from. It's listed as a "201 Coastal Champ 20'.1"". I'm pretty sure it's a 194 Fishunter. What would be the easiest way to tell? Not to concerned about the Coastal vs Fishunter. I know one had carpet and the other didn't. The 194 vs 201 is what I'm confused about. Serial # is TSB33363E000
    I'm going to pull out my manuals from in the boat this weekend and see what they say.

    No way to get model from HIN. Built in Mtn Home in May of 2000.

    201 Coastal had carpeted deck and so did Fishunter. However, Coastal has no carpet down in floor area, while Fishunter does. Both listed at 19'4". This is according to the 2000 brochure. They look almost identical. Carpeted rear deck optional on both.

    Coastal has salt water TM and some slight differences in the SS railings.

    Well all this time I thought I had a Fishunter and I have a Coastel! I only have carpet on the front and rear decks, none on the floor. And it came with a salt water TM and all SS hardware.
    Thanks so much Lea!

    You're very welcome. The really good news is that the Coastal was set up for the salt, and all components, pumps, etc, should be appropriate for the salt...The Fishunter was not intended for the salt environment.

    Now change that siggie..

    Hey Kim, how are you feeling?? All the rehab go good? Did you keep the titanium plates in or have them removed?

    I still have all mine and have no issues. But, it did take over a year for the swelling in those areas's to go down...

    Ping me on IM.. as its good to see you back on...
