    bad boy bad boy~~I jumped ship!

    Well after trying to find a good deal on a Champion for no more than 8 grand I found out it just don't happen now days. I accidently found out about a 80 year old man who had an awesome deal no man could turn down on his spotless 2000 R81 Ranger so I bought it, BUT ! I will always consider myself as part of the Champ family.

    Well I checked out your new boat and you got one heck of a deal there.

    Do your best to correct the Ranger clan as to what Champion is, was, and shall ever be (Special).

    Enjoy your new ride!

    You are always welcome here IMO -- Good luck with the R-boat -- Just don't try to push it to do what a ChamP can do....

    Heck my wife has been telling me I'm insane for 11 years !! You should have seen ol Cliff scarf down the shrimp etouffe and tator salad I cooked the guys at R & R Marine today~~3 big plates for Cliff~Now thats insane!! Heck I made a deal I couldn't refuse, a 80 year old had this 2000 R81VS that was mainly his 74 year old wifes, she died 2 years ago and he never put it in the water since. The boat is all metal flake res and gray, just georgeous! He deceided to sale it so he brought it to a local boat dealer and told them it had not been run in 2 years and to do whatever they thought they should to get it ready to sale. He gave me the tickets on everything, water pump, lower unit seals and oil, spark plugs, cleaned injectors, 3 new batteries, 2 new tires, man they went overboard, charged him 1000 plus! even changed oil and gas lines! I was first in line to buy it and he sold it to me for 7200.00!! Awesome buy! I can post a pic if you would like? just don't want other Champ guys to get upset.

    I already know it won't do figure 8's like my Champ did ! The ride is good~better than a Stratos, Blazer, and Skeeter I tried, but don't ride like a Champ.

    Thought Medusa had snakes for hair? Aha, I see she was so ugly that anyone who looked into her eyes turned to stone. Wow! Those Greek myths are something else!

    Wow....James and Luke back on the Champ board.

    Glad to see you surfaced again James. Remember all of our boat companies are owned by PE so I guess we're all family. The only outsider is JohnM... And Luke....

    Peace,
    Don
