Another New Boat

Well I managed to sell the Nitro and sign the papers to my new boat on the same day.  However its not brand new, just new to me.  It's a 2001 Champion 193 with a 200 VMax, and it was very well taken care of by the previous owner.  Heres a few pictures and as soon as I figure out how to drive this thing you guys are in trouble.  I like Thomas' colors better, but I found out you can't pick your colors on a used boat.  Wink

Sweet looking boat Joel, and those Champs have a great rough water ride too, as well as being pretty quick.

Hey Joel, that is a pretty nice looking boat even if it is used. I would have liked to gotten a 200hp motor but the Stratos was not rated for it but as long as you are happy with it is all that matters.

me neither, the final bill on the Green Machine was $2000....

New starter and solenoid, new cranking battery, new VRO pump and Oiler, Carbs Ultrasonically cleaned rebuilt and reset, couple of gaskets replaced and the whole thing serviced and tuned up. Prop repaired, plugs, fuel filter and lower unit oil replaced etc.....

Should be running sweet now. Just have to get the parts for the trolling motor, there was a nice one at Anglers, but no money left. I'll be picking it up probably Sat next week and then we'll be out there again!!!

Can't wait!!!

Should run for years after spending that kind of money.  If it doesn't, should have went to Tacoma Marine Repair  Cheesy  Glad to hear she'll be back on the water Faz.

Joel, Nice Champion.  Buy new rain gear Undecided Undecided Undecided Oh schucks, just leave it all alone, the Champion will get you to your fishing locations no one will notice the rain suit.  Great ride.  Enjoy it.
