1988 18 foot Champion Bass Boat Fishing boat for sale in Alex City, AL

 

 

 

 

 

Champion began building bass boats in 1975. They produced what is still the best rough water riding bass boat period. This Champion 184 ( 18 ft 4 inches) is no exception. It s handling is very predictable. Rough water is no problem. Champions were never known for their speed. This boat is in decent condition cosmetically. Mechanically is it in good condition. Light load it will run 63 , full load 60 mph all day.
Paint and gelcoat are ok. Boat looks good. Not great. It has alot of hairline imperfections in the clearcoat only.
I purchased it from the original owner. He said the clearcoat had been that way for 10 years. It had not gotten any worse.
