    Champion project question

    Hey guys I've got a question. A fella near me has a 2001 champion 186 or 193 I can't tell exactly from the pictures but he's asking a very low price as he says he knows nothing about it. The only issue I can see is a large area of spider cracking seen in the picture that continues down the side of the boat. Is that something to be majorly concerned about or is it probably nothing?

    I don't think the spider cracks are an issue but looking at the condition of the deck i would say check the transom very good, looks like its been out in the weather unprotected a long time water rot could be an issue

    With that water standing in the bottom of that boat, you couldn’t pay ME to take it! You will sink $10k into that POS and still not have it fixed.

    I'd be worried about a lot more than the spider cracks
