Title: 78 Challenger Jet for sale
Post by: Rodbender on September 17, 2008, 02:25:50 PM
It is with Great remorse that i must let my Challenger go.
78 Challenger 18 footer. New interior, new motor, 460 ford. Pro-billet dist, MSD ign, Offy tunnel with new 750 dp just dialed by carb shop, new starter. Rewarder Twisties, billet scoop.
Dominator Jet with elect. place diverter, SS "A" imp. (can use a new wear ring as the flow to the motor seems a little low) but runs awesome.
Am/Fm/CD player w/ 4 JL audio speakers, Bimini top, polished billet trip Everywhere.

Jelcoat is in great shape with a few little spider cracks as typical, but shines like a champ. Only bad spot is a small crunch at the point of the bow. An easy fix.

The overall condition of the boat is outstanding, well taken care of with no bull s%$t rigging. If it broke or looked worn, it was replaced the right way. I don’t believe in temp fixes, that is what keeps you on the shore needing a $3.00 part!!

The trailer is in excellent condition with great tires and aluminum rims, chrome steps & fenders that are lowered a bit for a killer Hot Rod look.

I also have a set of C-9 heads, and a Droop snoot w/ a race nozzle available. If the price is right, I may throw them in.

Asking $6800.00 obo. Email me at Charleyk@avir.com for additional pics.

it is a very nice boat, hopefully will go quick for you, i think alot of people are afraid to make an investment in toys right now, that is why i am holding off on putting mine up.

Well, my last buyer was 6' 7" tall and about 260 or so and didnt fit. Go Figure!! Quite a drag as he was really interested, but needs a day cruiser, or a tuna clipper.

Boat still availible

Still for sale although I havent been tryin very hard to sell it. I cant tell you the hours, but the motor is tight, stock w/ a cam. This witer it was going to get the C9 heads, new cam, lifters, and a new outlook, I just havent got to it. WOT shows 4900RPM. It has a A/B ss impeller and i know that there is more with the C9's and a strong cam, but i kind of like it just the way it is. It is plenty quick and i dont need a race boat, thats why i have a motorcycle!
