brgbassmaster Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Well probably not the best idea to buy a bass boat right before you leave for 7 months buuuuut I couldn't pass it up. Paid 5k for a 97 champion 1717ft. Carpet is great, seats are immaculate, all gauges worked, lowrance on bow and console, live wells worked great couldn't be happier at this point lol. We will see after I get back. 8 Quote

brgbassmaster Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks ajay! I know what to do but at the same time it's been 7 yrs since I owned my last boat. I will probably do the professional service. What's a little extra no ey to make sure your boat is running when you get back 1 Quote

sarcazmo Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 haha I saw that boat on CL and pointed it out to my buddy. If you need a good mechanic, Ken Howden of Holiday Mobile is one of THE BEST if not the best. 1 Quote

What's a little extra no ey to make sure your boat is running when you get back You know what they say- an ounce of prevention... Is worth more if you break it down into grams and sell it individually. All kidding aside though, spend the money. Come back to rainbows and high fives, not headaches and problems. Nice time capsule find, she's mint!! 2 Quote
