Champion Splash Well

[hydrashack]

What was the first year they came up with the new splash well design? Thanks

[Lea]

The "new splashwell design"? Not sure what you mean....

[hydrashack]

I think it was around 2001-2003. The older design had the splash well with holes that could drain out the water from backwash. The new ones don't have a splash well and it is all glassed in.

Just wondering what year the design did away with the splashwell.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Lea]

Ah...no prob. I think it was around 1999. I will have to check brochures...

Thanks Lea. I am looking to get into a champ and really like the look of those transoms and just wondering how far back year wise I can go.

Thanks for the help.

[Lea]

My '99 had the new design! Sure will be glad to welcome you to the Champion family!!!!

Just checked brochures...New design also in 98...

Yep they (ChampioN) unveiled it at the 1997 Guntersville TOC. Pretty sure it was a 19X class boat Kelly Power was giving test drives. Didn't win the boat that year either . It was out of Covenant Cove that year but then it was Mac's Landing.
