The Charger will probably out ride any 20' boat. It won't win many races but has a great ride. 100% on the Charger and you'll have a little extra for electronics. That's assuming all three are in the same condition. The charger already has a HDS 9 at the console and a 7 at bow! So huge positive! And the charger is in great condition. The Skeeter is in the worse... The Skeeter is sold so that's outta the question. Gonna take the charger for a ride Monday. Shoot dawg, you done answered yo own question. Chargers are well built, handle great in rough water and I think are a great looking boat. You probably got a tandem axle trailer too. Gitter done. Doesn't look like I'm getting it. He has 3 people going to look at it tomorrow and I can't get it till Monday. Any leads to a quality boat will be greatly appreciated!!

Not surprised. That was a great price for a 97 charger.

Chargers just dont get the love around here that much because you never see them. Not sure where the closest dealer is. Heard good things about them

Between the charger and the champion. I would choose whichever one has a C-channel trailer. Ive owned two chargers and had rust issues with both trailers. Wouldnt ever own another tubular trailer.

With all of them being 20 or so years old I would inspect those wood transoms closely and have compression test done on the motors. There's no warranty on 20 year old boats or motors. Also like barbarian said a 200 on a 21'er is under powered especially with a full tournament load. I don't know about it being that terribly underpowered. My 96 21' skeeter with a 2 stroke 200 ran almost as fast(within 2-3mph) as my current FX20 with a 250SHO. That said, neither one is a 75mph boat, but I'm fine with 65-70mph.
