I'm not trying to rush winter. I'm sure some semblance of winter is on the way. That means we are approaching the 2026 Ultimate Sport Show Tour - the three biggest fishing and outdoor sport shows in Michigan!

Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

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.

Your Cat is much nicer than this.

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

I've seen that boat on Charlevoix....It is a nice rig.....I've talked to the owner a couple of times, seems like a nice guy..

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.
