    Moving to a Vortex

    If anyone one gets a chance to step into a Vortex, focusing on the BRP portion of the boat.... They have made significant upgrades especially with the iNR system. There has been some growing pains with it, but supposedly the 2019s have been fine tuned. Seems the reverse buckets have been...

    201? 210 SE Restoration Build {salt water :(}

    Ouch!! Might be fun to see what you can do but as mentioned it won't take long to get some $$$$ rolling. Possibly find a couple wrecked PWC for motors?

    New Chaparral Vortex forum

    Is there any way to add a new Chaparral vortex forum? I recently switched from Sea-Doo to a Chaparral BRP powered boat and would like to continue on this message board. I understand it may be a slow posting forum but why not!

    Moving to a Vortex

    Sad to say, we sold our 210 challenger... Hard to see it go! It was a great trouble free 4 years but we were fortunate enough to use it as a stepping stone for a 2019 Chaparral Vortex 2430. It's great to still be in the BRP family with all the new features and a bump to 600hp.

    Anyone bought/sold a 210 challenger recently?

    We are seriously thinking about a new Chaparral 2430 VRX and have come to an agreement on the price. My plan is to list ours privately and sell as need be, I can hold it all winter if it turns out that way. We will miss our Sea Doo but we need a bigger boat and now's the time to buy. Anyone...

    Challenger 180 cavitation issue

    It's hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the gap is uneven around the impeller, possibly a bent impeller? Also the chip edges can cause an issue, it could be a combination of the wearing and impeller damage. Rocks are no good! It almost the wear rings has corrosion underneath it...

    Oil warning 09 Challenger 180 255HP

    It's been a few years since we purchased our boat but we had a similar issue. Oil was way overfilled but I was only getting oil sending unit error code. I was not getting any low oil warnings. I read over your first post initially but I was busy at work and forgot to come back. Glad you...

    Bilge pump 2010 challenger 210

    We have the exact same boat, it was unused for sometime when we bought it. We had a similar situation with our bilge pump, I ended up running water from a garden hose through the output fitting of the bilge to clear the blockage. This worked out for us, no issues since. As mentioned sounds...

    Bottle cap cripples my 210 Challenger !!

    Been there done that, for us the weirdest one was a half pair of sunglasses. Hard to believe such small things can bring a boat to a halt!

    Sea-Doo Challenger 210 SE Supercharger Upgrade

    Also it should be pointed out in many cases the analog speedometer is rather inaccurate. The digital speedometer you can select on the digital gauge cluster is accurate.

    2008 Challenger 180 Gauges

    Seems guage problems are more difficult to diagnose. There are always random questions on guage issues where they partially work and never really an answer why. I wish you luck other than throwing parts at it....
