Picked up my new boat for Ross Barnett today. A 1993 ChampioN 184DC Contender. I took a couple of pics before I start in on it rigging for Crappie fishing.

Very cherry for a 32 year old boat. 2022 Mercury ProXS 236hrs 1/2 of which is idling Sidescanning. One owner, garage kept, even came with the original ChampioN Build Sheet & Owners Manual.
Very nice John!
Sweet!
That is A sweet looking Boat. Congratulations....
Nice! Did the previous owner mention if any changes were made to the transom before repowering with a modern 4-stroke?
It has been repowered several times with 2 stroke Mercury's. All done by the same dealer. All fittings in the transom were replaced every 5 years. Mercury dealer inspected the hull before installing this engine and said to was fine. I sounded the transom as I do when figuring out where to cut when a transom job came in my shop and it is solid to the edges in all directions. Champion really didn't start skimping on glass till around 1995-1996 but of course there is always a exceptions around.
Lord, I wish you were my neighbor......:Rofl
