Nice,
Being a 99 it could be a 221 or a 223
Would be a great book to run LSC in and the 3.0L Mariner was bullet proof

Nice looking boat.  Was just up there last week.  could have looked at it if I had known about it.   Be a great starter boat for someone.

The boats like new and it's 22'
In 99 that was the flagship boat for Champion

My Thursday night tourney partner has an 03 Champ 196 with the 200 OptiMax. I love it. It has a softer ride in big water than my FX does. It's nowhere near as fast, but I really like being in it. We've had it in 5 footers on St Clair. Took it without breaking a sweat.

The 196 was a good hull but only rated for a 200
It became the 198/200 that was rated for a 225, and then with a new cap it became the later 202

That 221 was the longest bass boat that champion made
There was a classic were Champion showed up with one that had twins on the back
Not opened up it would run 90 plus

If you go down to post 39
There's a pic of the 221 with twins

Actually the 223 was the biggest Max.   Tackle this has one.
