In this episode, we traveled to Tellico Lake to purchase a 2008 Champion 198 bass boat. I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long, long time! I definitely got an awesome deal on the boat. The Mercury outboard only has 300 hours of running time and the iPilot Minn Kota 112 lb. thrust trolling motor was just recently installed. What a great buy! Thanks Harbortowne Marine! Enjoy!

One of the best riding boats ever made

I agree Cary! I really got her dialed in now! I was down on power for a while but then discovered I had a bad ignition coil. She's fast! Lol :)

Thanks! I had her out on the lake today and I was thinking, "Man, I'm blessed to have this boat!" She's a classic! 👍

Thanks Daniel! I'm looking forward to some fishing too! I haven't been able to post a video since November. I plan on working hard on videos in 2024!! Thanks for watching!! :)

I recently bought my first ‘fiberglass’ bass boat a Ranger 185VS that Champion is a fine looking boat and the white looks great, Champions have great hulls too. Tight lines!

@HooksetHawk Год назад

Thanks! Yeah I think the white is poppin'!! :)

@Twangtown7 7 месяцев назад

That's a clean looking boat!

@HooksetHawk 7 месяцев назад

Yes she is! Thanks! I've made several upgrades since the purchase and she's runnning great! 😎

@DLTJR1959 6 месяцев назад

She's nice. I got a 188 sc elite couple weeks ago. Just ordered some fish finders. Really stoked. Great video.

Awesome, congrats! What brand graphs did you buy? I'll be installing a 12" Humminbird Solex up front with FFS. I plan on getting this done before fishing season. Thanks for watching! :)

@@HooksetHawk I got a Garmin Echomap Ultra 106sv and a UHD 93sv. One for the front and one for the console. Will either keep or chunk the 5" Lowrance built in the console.

@HooksetHawk 5 месяцев назад

@@DLTJR1959 , sounds great! I always sell my old graphs on eBay for decent money. Maybe that's something you can do with the Lowrance unit. :)

Thanks for the heads up

I found my 210 in Illinois and had it shipped to California. It’s a big boat. Handles likes a boss!

@HooksetHawk 6 месяцев назад

Dang! I imagine that cost a pretty penny to ship to California! But, hey, it's worth it for a Champion boat! Lol :) Nothing rides like a Champion!

@MrMynameisozzy 6 месяцев назад

@@HooksetHawk The 210 is my 3Rd Champion. Never seen any of the Elite series here personally anywhere. Mine is the deep blue anniversary edition Elite, really gets a lot of attention at the docks.

@HooksetHawk 6 месяцев назад

@@MrMynameisozzy , I bet it does! What brand & size motor do you have on the 210? My Dad ran Champions back in the 1980's & 90's. My brother and Uncle also run Champions! It's in our blood! Lol 😂

@MrMynameisozzy 6 месяцев назад

@@HooksetHawk The previous owner had it powered with a 250 Evinrude ETec that was properly maintained. It’s really smooth, reliable, quite, always starts on 1 turn of key every time. A lot of people put the BRP products down. Any outboard that’s gonna be subject to continuous high strains is gonna give out period especially more prone if one does tournament fishing.

@MrMynameisozzy 6 месяцев назад

Blasting for hours on hours at maximum Rpm’s is just brutal on any outboard engine.

@joebobbrown3835 Год назад

Charger now makes Champion Boats but they are badged as Charger Boats. They make the Elite 198 and Elite 210 and have the rights to make all the hulls if they choose.

@HooksetHawk Год назад

Yep, that's right! Im glad I bought this one when I had the opportunity. The boat is a 2008 so it was built just a few years before Champion went belly up. And, with just 300 hours on the motor it was a no-brainer!! Lol :)

i love my champion boat, how is your rig treating you a year later

@HooksetHawk 3 месяца назад

Champions are the best! I love my 198! I've had to do a lot of work but it's been worth it. I finally got new electronics installed and currently working on a list of stuff that needs attention but nothing major. I'm completely happy with my Champion! She rocks!! 👍😎 Thanks for watching!!

I’ve got a 93 190 but man I’d buy urs in a heartbeat.

@HooksetHawk 4 месяца назад

That's cool! My Dad used to own an early 1990's Champion 187 and that boat was fast for the size. Unfortunately, my 198 is NOT for sale! lol Of course, being a Champion owner I'm sure you understand why. lol Thanks for watching! :)
