Interested in it...

I'm just going thru the break-in period so I'm not sure if the fuel mileage is a good representation of normal use. I haven't had a chance to tow anyone yet...this 10 hour break in is killing me...driving around at a max of 5000 rpm is murder on the trigger finger

I posted some more pictures in the Gallery

My impressions so far
:thumbup1:

* Performance - to early to tell yet
* Looks super fast went sitting in water

* Lots of storage space
* Motor is smooth and the sound of the supercharger is just too cool
* Contends with rough water extremely well, especially from a handling perspective
* Wife luvs the sun lounge
* Can't say enough about the adjustable seats
* Bimini and Wakeboard tower work well together
* The factory cover fits perfect and looks good on the boat

:thumbdown:

* My wakeboard tower is slightly out of alignment, hard to assemble/disassemble
* Sometimes forward view is poor, obivously boat speed determines how bad
* Can get a major drenching from the front if you let off going into a small wave
* The front windshields should be adjustable...this is a real big one for me, too windy without.
* Should have come with a cockpit helm storage compartment.
* The stereo being in the glovebox is a pain, going to install a wired remote.
* Back middle seating position has no grab handles
* Wish it came with a depth gauge factory installed, and maybe SC boost indication

:clapping:

Things I plan on adding
* PPG custom pitched impeller
* Cold air intake for Supercharger
* Vortech supercharger impeller
* Rotax Racing heavy duty clutch, this makes the supercharger bulletproof.
* Wired stereo remote
* Seaslide, pending Kevins review
* Hydroturf once the 180 version is available
* Depth finder/GPS
* Collapsible table

Overall: I am extremely pleased with my purchase as this is a family that wants something sporty to go boating in, the Challenger 180 fits the bill. I want to add some of the aftermarket products purely to satisfy the Male Hormones

I really hope to get some serious acceleration and break that 50mph barrier. If I can acheive the above results, then I figure I've got the ultimate family boat.

Hope this review helps and I'll post more once I get to open her up! :kicking:
