I've got a 2001 ChampioN 190SX with a Mercury 150. It's pewter and burgandy metal flake with gold metal flake arrow stripes. I never thought that I would have a fish and ski boat. After my wife's nagging, I bought this one after deciding that my old 16' Nitro wasn't big enough. I have to say, I was way wrong on the fish and ski concept. I love it!!! Now, I'll go fishing from daylight until noon or so, the wife will meet me and we'll ski/play until around 4 or 5, then fish until dark. Best of both worlds!!!

A 4 passanger paddle boat And yes I've caught bass out of it!
You may laugh now but wait til the duct tape comes off and it sinks,And that is DEAD SERIOUS.

Maybe I should put a little more money in a boat Huh??

We have dozens of lakes in our area that range anywhere from 50 acres to well over 1000 that do not allow gas motors.

Great tournaments too! Oughta' get a load of those "shotgun" starts! LOL!

great boats and comments. keep them coming. interesting hearing from all of you.

the pic/attachment is of my ChampioN. replaced the "comfy" chairs with butt sears. i started out fishing the banks of farmponds in KS. then graduated to a small 2-man bass boat. now, have this ChampioN. swear i can hear hear it running in my garage right now. guess i will have to wait until the spring and winter finishes it "thing."

volzfan59 - I agree with you, this fish and ski gives me the best of both worlds. My wife and two girls love it, and I love the time with them.

JD Powers was wrong! I am out of my Ranger and into a 2002 Skeeter 200ZX with 200 V-MaX HPDI. Great boat for fishing. Love my Minn Kota troling motor and my Garmin Electronics.
