Thinkin about gettin this 1989 champ f/s 201. Seems to be pretty nice rig. Has a good runnin 200 merc. The guy said it was too big for what he needed. Want 3 grand for it. What ya'll think.? Also was told they used kelvalr in them. Ideas? The hull number is TSB11640L788. Screenshot_20221210-173154_Facebook.jpgScreenshot_20221210-173102_Facebook.jpg
Go for it

No kevlar in that hull. I've got a 1989 201 FNS that I converted to a conventional deck. Make sure the transom is solid.
As noted in your other thread, that's an 88 model built in Mountain Home in November of 87.

Buying a 34-year old boat without (a) owner driven lake test, &/or (b) talking to marine shop guy where boat gets routine maintenance, preferably both; seems too risky to me. There are plenty of used boats around.
Looked at late model metal flake red/silver Champ near Cassville MO back in 1988-89 (?), looked great except for the bare ~6-inch diameter round spot on keel mid-boat area that looked like no metal flake gelcoat, down to cloth or whatever. Luckily I took my flashlight and looked under this maybe 3-year old Champ, then left.

That's a fair price for it if the motor and transom check out.
As with anything, come up with a value and then deduct for repairs. Today, a trolling motor is 3k.
