I have a 1998 Challenger 1800 seats 7 but really seats 5 adults and a couple of kids or grandkids to ride in the bow. It has twin 787's mine will do 50 but as others said it is a thrill but not a normal ride. Lots of fun easy to trailer and launch. Mine has been reliable for the 5 years that...

Looking to sell my boat, excellent shape, I'm in northern Illinois. Any idea how to price it? It owes me nothing I have had a ton of fun for several years, would like to price it fair but sell it quickly. Any ideas? Thanks Terry

My 98 challenger has a low fuel alarm, it also lights a light in the fuel gauge. When you reset it with the rocker switch it will not beep until you shut the boat off and start it again. Once you put gas in it it stops beeping. First time it happened to me it took me a couple minutes to figure...

The foam on my engine hatch for my 1998 challenger 1800 is starting to deteriorate :facepalm: I found replacement foam but was wondering if there is a easy way to remove what's is left of the old foam and what people are using to glue the foam to the fiberglass ? Any suggestions? Thanks...

Mine works okay most of the time, but I use a speedometer app on my phone It works all the time, is much more accurate, and I have my phone on dash holder anyway No cost involved ( kinda, sorta) :toetap05::toetap05:

I picked up a 18x18 Orange flag from Farm & Fleet. It fit on my rear light pole Pretty darn good. Stores with flag rolled in stock location Thanks for the ideas Terry

I meant if they had to hold a flag the entire time someone was being pulled or in the water they would not be happy by the end of a full day of tubing, wakeboarding, and skiing

Illinois has a skewed view of what a skier down flag is. You have to have the flag up anytime you have a rope in the water or a person in the water including the actual time spent sking. My spotters would not be happy by the end of the day

Does anyone have any cool ideas for mounting a skier down flag on a 1800 challenger? New law here in Illionois, I am trying to figure a way to mount one and not having much luck. No tower Thanks

Thanks for the info Terry

I have a lead on a 95 challenger possibly cheap Would the mpem work on my 98 challenger? If it will might be worth buying the boat just for spare parts Thanks Terry

Dr Honda, My everyday flyer is a 96" profile with a DA 50cc gasser swinging a 23x8 prop. Not very fast compared to jets but very agile and lots of fun I bet that T45 become a speck in a hurry, the diamond dust at 145mph will disappear in a few seconds I took a 31" electric fast boat to the lake...

Dr. Honda, I fly RC helicopters and airplanes also. I have flown a few RC turbine Helis, but do not own any. Way cool Terry

Anyone used the 2 wheeled dollies like from Harbor freight or Cabelas to move your challenger 1800 around? I am looking for input, my storage stall is a pita to try and back the boat In to with a vehicle. Thinking a dolly might Help. Thanks Terry

Pale Rider, put the Gauge and transponder in yesterday, took the boat out today. The depth finder works great even at full speed. Thanks for the tips I likes it. Terry
