I just sold my 193. They are great boats and ride really well in rough water. I would do a pre buy inspection and have the compression checked on whatever you buy.

yeah I will definatly get a compression check. I kinda found it strange that a 19 footer has a single axel.

Mu buddy have a 20 ft blazer that has a single axle trailor. It will be fine with a single axle Im pretty sure champions are pretty heavy but I think you will be fine.

The boat and trailer are fine, but THAT motor is suspect.

The motor is a Evinrude EFI FICHT 200, I have heard very mixed reviews on this engine and this being my first boat it kinda makes me nervous. does anyone know whats the deal with this motor?

They were the final push that caused OMC to go bankrupt. If it has had the update it is a good motor. Update sticker is back of motor, high center w/date.
