    What I hate about my Champion

    Biggest complaint is the seat height. Not nearly as bad as some Tritons, but after being in some other brands the extra 4-5" really helps especially if your try to locate fish in a large body of water and getting up and down a couple dozen times.

    Anyone else have any major grievances?

    You could always sell it and buy something else.

    If you are talking about drivers seat height I will agree. I prefer to sit on my throwable cushion for added visibility.

    Me too and my 198 is tight in the legs! About all I'd change is the console height.

    My thoughts, too. One of the best hulls ever! Seat height might be a trade off for some, but not for most!!!

    The seat height is not enough to make me sell my Champ. Just said I preferred the added visibility! The only thing that could make me sell is another Champ!!!!

    Never understood the heated seat in a bass boat. When it's cold enough to use them I have enough layers on the stay warm and the heat from the seats would never penetrate the clothing. Dan

    Only thing I would change (and I'm probably going to have to) is this stupid Mega Link, Digital Power Panel. When I hit the bilge pump button my horn blows!!!!!!
