    Nice Champ for sale (not mine)

    I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.

    Few changes

    Rub rail has to go in the same pile as the diamond plate dash. Other than that, has always been one of my favorites as a kid. Beyond there now but for the price, you cant build it.

    Who's boat is this? I still have both of my Champs, one is a 1966 the other a 1967. Love the history of only 5 made per year. The 66' is my daily driver, lol and a whole lot of fun. The 67' is a project boat still in all original condition.
    Curious as to if the two seats was a modification or came that way because I have never seen a 68'. Also never seen a windshield either on any champion, but I do like the way they look without them and with them too.
