Chargers world just got a whole lot bigger.
J&J hasn't sold any in a couple years and is no longer a dealer. Sartin Marine has now added Charger to their line to have options for people looking for a 18-19' fiberglass boat as well as the wide former Champion series 210 and soon the 198.
Charger is a family run company that has been building boats for over 40 years. They are a custom builder as you can pretty much pick all of the options, colors etc that you want. The standard boat does not have as many frills as a Legend and the standard pricing will reflect it.
Legend is still building the V-20s and have plans to continue at a minimum through 2019, the Charger line at Sartins is not to replace Legend but will add options for customers.
The biggest problem in the boating industry right now is apparently no one can keep up with the production demands, and not only boats but engines as well. Yamahas and Mercurys are getting hard to get and even some jack plates are 4+ weeks lead time.
I feel like once Charger gets caught up and Billy gets a few on his lot, you will see an explosion of Chargers in Texas.

Good write up and I totally agree Billy will defiantly sell boats.

Good looking boats...especially the Charger/Champ line. Does anyone know why they don't have a true "pro team" pushing the brand? Just curious...

Company philosophy has always seemed to not want to spend much money on marketing. They also build some high end pontoons and they probably consider themselves a custom bass boat builder with a special niche in the market. I think they only average about 50-75 bass boats a year and might not be able or want to handle much more than that. At those quantity levels, you couldn't cover your marketing expense or get a decent ROI without raising prices considerably.

Makes sense and smart business model on their part.
