    Thank you very much for all the information. I have had a Ebbtide dyna-trak 180 ss with a 200 mercury on it for 27 yrs. The champion is all new to me,i am also in the process of restoring a 1994 Stratos 280 Fish & Ski to give to my son any feed back on this boat is appreciated. No seat time in this one either

    Back during the early 1980s Greg Mosher was the plant manager of Champion Boats at Mt Home, Ark. I had Greg build me a slightly modified 15' for hunting the Mississippi River below Memphis, Tenn. I powered it with 75 hp Johnson Stinger and routinely ran 25-35 miles a hunt in search of migrating waterfowl amid the barges and sand bars. Forty-years later and with waterfowl populations declining, I've re-rigged a 1990 - 17' version of the same basic boat for fishing the lakes, marshes, and sounds of the Gulf of Mexico. I went back to the old school power of a slightly modified 2-stroke Yamaha 115 set back 4" & up about 2" with a 17" pitch 3-blade - and I'm staying just as dry as I did with 18' and 19' center consoles with similar Yamaha F4 power. I don't venture as far but when the seas are running 3-4' - I don't need to be out there when it gets that rough, anyway...

    Was u running with all pvs holes open or do you have plugs in it? You said hole shot nice and strong? Just curious, im thinkin bout tryin a fury 3 or 4 , and stern of my boat is almost identical to a champ but my pad is little different, I run croxton modified trophy plus and its dialed in to a pretty quick hole shot and great wot , I need bout 2 more in of setback to b able get most out of my bassrig ,but that calls for new steer cables or go hydraulic,
