Challenger hull, any good?
Can anyone tell me about the Challenger hull or their experiences with one? I would like to know anything about it because I just bought one used. I have a full mod Zen 230 to put in it. Does it handle well? Does it handle and turn well at high speeds? Does it do well at all at high speeds? Does it handle chop very well? And any other things or suggestions you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

I had one a while back with a full mod 260 and ran Aeromarine hardware with no trim tabs and handeled all water conditions well, building another now but with all speedmaster should be much better handling

It is an older hull and is not to competative anymore in the modded classes. However it is a proven hull and would be a great play boat or a super sport class boat.

They make good offshore boats a lot of guys use them over here for that,both surface drive and submerged drive.So if you want a boat that can handle some chop it should be a good boat,how about some pics?.

Ill post pics as soon as I get it. I just ordered it and was wondering if it was a good hull and if anyone could give me some setup tips on it. I dont plan to race it, just for play and want to go fast.

Good boat for play as i used to own one a while back with a full mod 23 and a friend of mine just purchased one from Aeromarine last summer. Actually the same friend had bought the boat from me and had it right up until about three years ago before he split it up then he decided to buy a new one because he liked how the old one ran. He must have really liked the hull...lol! Must admit they were proven in their day.
