Orange / Yellow or Yellow / Orange Challenger Hull

« **on:** January 10, 2017, 02:44:08 PM »

Possibly looking for either an orange and yellow or a yellow and orange Challenger Hull with a berkeley "E" pump must have good floor, stringers, original gel coat, etc. Let me know what is out there. Thanks. by the way I am not looking for any other type of hull or colors. I also am not interested in a complete boat, just a good hull if someone has one laying around.

This pic is what I am possibly looking for either in these colors or the reverse.

I know where this exact color scheme Challenger is but don't think the owner wants to sell. Boat runs around Big River most every summer weekend.

Cool, I have an original one already that in great shape but looking for a stripped hull in good shape for a build

Looks like I have been able to locate my dad's original 1977 orange and yellow Challenger he bought new! The guy says it's been sitting in the back of his workshop. I have not been able to see it yet but he's going to call when he has a minute to drag it out so I can get it back into the family 😁👍

Congrats on finding that. There have been a lot of threads on these forums about guys looking for their dad's or grandpa's old boat. I still got our boat that I grew up with.
Glad to hear it worked out for you.
It looks to be in great shape. Does it need any work?

Yea me too been looking for it for a while. Plan to swap the white seats that are in it with the original ones I have in my other boat. I don't care for the white in the orange boat but should look ok in the white / brown challenger I have.

Nothing major a little TLC here and there but most boats need that anyways.

Thanks, I don't think he ever imagined he would be sitting in it again after buying it 40 years ago...We used the hell out of this boat for 20 years lol just got lucky the owner for the past 20 years did not use it much at all.
