Hunter53 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 We are back home from picking up the new boat and trying it out/fishing on TR. Thought I would throw up a couple pictures of the boat. We will be at TR again the last 2 weeks of April so if any of you see this boat stop and say hi! Yeah I know we have talons on it but up here they actually do come in very handy. If we lived down there we would not have put them on the boat. LOL Charger 496 with a Merc 250 ProXS. It was cloudy so the pictures don't show off all the sparkle it has when the sun is shining on it. Here it is anyway.......... Fred Smalley and Seth 2
J-Doc Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Man that thing is nice!! Love the colors. Forgive me but I have not heard much about these. What does it run? 72-74? Sweet looking rig. I really like how the hull is designed. Looks like it could cut wakes well. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
Hunter53 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks. I had it up to 71 but there is definitely more in it. After playing with the setup I am guessing it should run around 75 loaded up pretty heavy. The Chargers are by far the best rough water boat I have ever been in. That is the reason we went with one as the wind is always blowing up here. If you ever want a ride when I am down that way just let me know so you can check them out for yourself.
dtrs5kprs Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Pretty boat Dave. Reminds me of the old school Rangers with the darker caps and light hulls. Did you catch 'em?
J-Doc Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Quick question.... What is composite about it? their website has some nice pictures but doesn't really showcase their storage and construction of their boats but notes a composite construction. It is a fiberglass boat correct? Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks.

Hunter53 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 We did not do very good but with that said we didn't really fish that much. I posted a report of the first day in the other thread. The second day we caught one spot and only fished for about an hour or so and the wife got cold so we quit. Can't wait until we are back down for the last 2 weeks of April.

It is a fiberglass boat correct? Yes it is fiberglass. 100% fiberglass(composite); there is no wood in the hull at all. Life time warranty on the hull! They do need to update their site for sure. There is a ton of storage in this boat. If you want I can get some pictures the next time I un-tarp it and PM them to you.
J-Doc Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just saw some photos on their Facebook page. Just cannot see why they are not more mainstream and as popular as other brands. These are some slick looking rigs. Very nice looking. I'm very impressed. And the price point is highly competitive. Yet I've not seen them at a boat show or anything. Really odd. Super nice rig man. Bet you're very proud. I would be. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks.

fishingaddiction Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Very nice boat Hunter. With a boat that nice looking the fish should just want to jump in for a ride! Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
Champ188 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Gorgeous boat, Hunter. I know you're proud of her. J-Doc, we just don't have any Charger dealers in NWA. Then again, we don't really have any dealers at all to speak of. I had to go to Warsaw, MO, to get a decent deal on my Ranger.
