Has anyone gotten any prices for this boat? I'm getting a few quotes in CA for $21,999 for the 215HP and $24,399 (not $23,999) same boat with tower.

Has anyone seen this boat also that can share some pictures from other angles. The ones from the SeaDoo website don't show much. The dealer in San Diego has a couple in the showroom if anyone is interested in looking at it.

I am with kvoman on this one, I would like to see some better pictures of this boat too. I thought about this boat too. Maybe someone can snap some shots at the their local dealer if they have one in stock and then upload the pictures to the 'DOO Gallery'?

22 000$ Canadiens for this boat??? ... ..the boat is very cool..but I am not sure of the performance

[Kevin Leclair]

Yeah I guess we will just have to await a test from someone to see how the performance is.

the price sound very low...juste 4000$ more than a sportster 4-tec 155hp...the price of the challenger is comming form where?

[johnv]

That is a comparable price to what I paid for my SS Mirage with 210 HP. Boats are comparable in many ways. Mirage has full windshield which is comfortable, but not as sporty.

The quotes I got were from a dealer in San Diego and one in LA (I think it was Huntington Beach).

I think I'm in love - a burnt orange color boat. My school color, Texas Longhorns!!! Don't flame me Cal fans. I have nothing to do with the BCS match-up!!!

May be this boat is in the future for me. I have to figure out my towing capacity since I won't be able to buy a new truck. It would have to be our Honda Odyssey as the tow vehicle if we get this boat. The boat sure looks cool!!!

anyone see a video of the new challenger?

[Kevin Leclair]

No not yet.

I went to the Northern CA Boat show this past Sunday to see the Challenger 180 and it is not what I expected. It just feel too cramped inside. The seating arrangement is ok but to carry 8 people on that boat, 4 had better be kids. The color (orange) looks very nice and the lines look good, all except for the nose. It just doesn't look right with the blunt square nose.

[Kevin Leclair]

Did you get a chance to snap any photos of the boat?

[kvoman]

I only took a few but the ones available here are much better. Mine had my kids in them. I was not very impressed with the boat so I didn't take alot of pictures. My kids had more fun in the Utopia and Islandia than in this boat so that was a sign for me! If my kids didn't like it, chances are my wife won't like it either and if they all don't like it - I'll never hear the end of it if we buy it.

They had a deal on a new '04 Utopia 185 for $22k with the 200HP Optimax engine. It was a tempting offer but didn't win me over.
