Just bought a 2010 180 Challenger SE. So far I am loving the boat. Wishing I could have afforded to go a bit bigger but this being my first boat it will do just fine.
Had some cavitation problems right out of the box. Took it back and the dealer sealed up the ride plate. Made a huge difference. No problem pulling a 3 seater tube loaded up with people
One thing I didn't expect is that when pulling a tube the riders get sprayed quite a bit. I have a 65 foot rope and when you get going about 25 to 30 mph the rider gets sprayed in the face with water.
I also find the bimini top to be kind of a pain in the butt. Looks like its already starting to scratch the gel coat and I don't even have 10 hrs yet.
Other than that Im very happy with the purchase. Nice forum you guys have here.
