True barn find on a 30yr old Champion bass boat last week..... 5-4-23

[Steve McBasser]

I heard through the grape vine that a guy had an old Champion bass boat stored in his barn for a few years. He and his wife bought it and had never had any lessons or been around boats all that much and then decided they weren't boat people. I went down to check it out last Tuesday and drug it home. Not bad for a 1993 Champion 17'6" SC Contender. It had a Mariner 150 and an old MotorGuide Troll motor with it along with some old electronics. Been fun cleaning it up. I'm sure glad he put it in the barn instead of letting it sit outside in the wind, rain and sun......

Nice find!

She's a peach 👍 

 

If the Mariner has set unused for more than a couple years it's gonna need some serious love.

Looks like it came out of a showroom not a barn🤩

That kinda stuff is never in my barns when I go thru them.
