So why pull these boats apart and fix everyone know the answer. Today's boats are built for speed first, lower manufacturing costs, production speed & simplicity, today's consumer. The boats of the 90's, builders like Champion, Cajun, Hydra Sport others too had deeper V's, better rides to me. The only way to get a Arkansas Champion without rot is to restore one or find and pay for a garage kept unit. Mine will be finished at some point next year. Building the Champion and Blazer at the same time while still fixing everything for everybody else was too much workload for me. Slab I think your going to like your Sprint when done, My Champ is a 1996, the Blazer I have on Ross Barnett is a 1996, and the one in my posts is a 1995. A lot of good things were happening back then with Bass boat hull designs. If the world comes crashing down and interest goes south with it maybe someone will have a Bass Cat 203 Hybrid they need to sell but till then give me a bass Boat from the mid 90's any day. This will be fun to follow, I won't be the one getting cold showers over it. All in on materials for my Restoration to completion (I have wholesale accounts), engine, trolling motor, etc. I have about $7000 in my boat. You can build a restoration boat really skinny if patient.
