A couple of weekends ago I picked this bad boy up. Its a '85 18ft Champion fish and ski boat and I instantly fell in love. Not sure what it is with these old school Champions but its a timeless design. We have had people already come up to us and be like "nice boat". Yeah not bad for an '85 
Anyway it only had a 90 horse on it but I can get it up to 40mph with two people and full tank of gas. There are no leaks but the boat does need a little TLC. So far I have been going through the wiring and getting rid of wires no longer used etc. Also the previous owner said the Bilge pump worked here and there. Since I have had the boat the bilge pump has never worked so I just replaced that tonight.
This is my first bass boat and I can't wait for the years to come spent fishing in this bad boy!
And the video I took of the bilge pump no working

Aldo got a short video of my wife driving the boat. Silly women they don't want to just gun it!
