Should be a mid to upper 70's boat. Not quite as smooth as a champion but will handle anything you can. My dad had a 180v charger that I probably put 1000 hours in behind the wheel and never let me down.

Usually its the other way around, sell an older boat and get into a newer model. I went the other way.....I found a cream puff 04' Charger 496TF that has 1 hour on the Mercury Racing 250 PRO XS motor. One of my buddies neighbor had this boat, had the Merc put on and then had a stroke, went into a nursing home and the boat sat in storage the last several years. I was able to get this at a price I couldn't pass up soooooo........I sold my 2014 Ranger Z521 and used A LOT of those funds to outfit this boat exactly the way I wanted it. It only needs a good buff and wax to be 100%... Excellent. Good thinking on the equity. Came to the same conclusion many years ago - my "bass" boat: 1994 - a lot of people think I've had a heart bypass or "bye pass" as we go by - but I think another thing - I bypassed a heck of a lot of bankers and payments all along the way. Never had the first fish ask how much I paid for the boat. Again - congrats - a good looking boat that'll get the job done. All that counts. Dauntless: The Boat That Almost Destroyed Boston Whaler

As far as ride it has a Champion hull doesn't it? Looks like a clean boat to own and have fun in. Good luck with it. No but its the closest thing out there to Champion now, don't care what the Ranger guys say it will defiitely outride a Ranger That boat'll ride circles around a Ranger, some folks will argue that a Charger rides better than a Champion. I dunno about that but wouldn't put money either way.

With the really high resale value of most used boats, I don’t blame you for selling the ranger and getting this boat with one hour on the motor! Looks nice.

Heading to Cedar Creek tomorrow for TTO Championship!! Oh yeh, if anyone knows where to get a SOLID Charger cover, please let me know, only thing I see worth a dang is the Aurora covers. Here are a few pics. How much did electronics and trolling motor cost including install? J. D.
