You're the best glass guy I've ever known...
Let's splash a few hulls, and see if there isn't someone looking for a custom built champ design?

While your splashing anyway, how about doing a 184.Nothing better than have the best handling bass boat around.
18'4, 202 & 221 and take the market by storm. Call em "Mtn Home Champions" and pizz P&E off.

Add the 198 Elite to the line-up to give us "wide-body" fans a platform...And I am referring to the boats, not the people...

That name is now trade marked and I will be willing to trade it for a brand new fully rigged light and dry, Mtn Home 202 Champion with a 225 Yammy, Hydrotec with a Phase III kit.![]()

I know you're sick of hearing it, but the abreviation for Mountain is Mtn, not Mnt....If we're gonna put it on our boats, we have to spell it correctly....

Wonder if we can use the logo ChampioN with the word Boats under. It would be great if we could. Not sure if it is a copyright/trademark...
Wonder if Dave Shlick would tweek the molds for us?
Tell him do whatever you have to do to a 184 to get a 200hp rating, finish tweeking the 203 to lift and run like a 202, maybe splitting the difference beam wise with a 198 if the laws of physics could be bent enough to not lose any ride or turning ability, and add an inch or 3 if you feel like it. Make a "light and dry" layup standard, with a "Erie/Amistad" heavy duty layup as an option.
Make a 19' and a 21' deep V hull, with multispecies, ski-n-fish, and bay boat top caps, and a Law Enforcement trim package for sales to water patrol/DNR agencies.
Finally, build a updated 176/181 with a 150 for under 20k.
A half dozen to a dozen regional dealers in the US act as motherships for a team of local reps. The reps get boats at cost, but to justifiy the deal, they have to give Demo rides, and answer the phone/email 24/7 for their local customers. The local reps job is to know their customers by their names and know their customer's boats.
"Oh, your livewell pump quit pumping? Ive got a spare here at the house, when can I meet ya and we will throw it in...While I'm here let me give ya a hand and let's hit this sucker with a fresh coat of BBS".
These reps are the guys at the little club tx's, cooking hot dogs and handing out thumb drives with the new demo video and plant tours on them, for guys to look at on their PC's at home. An active web presence, headed up by Lea of course...
OK, i'll quit dreaming now..![]()

Kind of getting me excited to get mine running.
Dont think I forgot you said you would sell in a couple of years in other post.I am only hour or so away from you.Starting to save my cash now.
Pat, you need to also get the original 21 bay champ hull but with rod boxes splashed. The 24 baychamp also needs to go into the collection.

+1 .... get that 21 foot bay champ back with a good transom, take the same hull and put a bassboat top cap on it.

It is so hard to trust boat MFG. They are your best friend as long as you are doing them favors and saving them money. But when times get tough they forget all the good you have done for them !! I have always been for taking care of customer and always will!
You all keep talking about building boats and I just may consider it.
Thanks for the kind words.
