When the radio and ICS would go out on the Challenger it was due to a fuse. If you sucked up something that was too heavy for the ICS to clear it would blow a fuse and the radio with it. I dont own the boat anymore I just wanted to let you know what I experienced.

I have a 2005 Challenger 180 SCIC for sale due to a recent purchase of a larger boat (my wife wanted a bigger boat and a porta potti). Pics and details are at

It's been a great boat. If interested call 678-513-0318 or email

Nice Challenger, were you able to sell it? I'm just wondering because I have wanted to sell mine but I dont think its going to be that easy to sell.

From a recent getaway, only hitch was a flat tire on the trailer, and running the boat in too shallow h2o, busted a wear ring. good pics, tho.

Do you have anymore pics or just the one?

Just adjusted my manual trim plates to maximum down (about 3/4 ") and made tremendous difference, almost completely eliminating porpoising, flatter planing and faster out of hole with full load on board. I am so pleased. Can imagine remote adjustable systems must be fantastic.

Canrad, can you please post some pics of your tabs when you get a chance?
Thanks

Is there a way to adjust the trim plate on a 2005 180? The excessive bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce (you get the idea) is about to drive me nuts - between that and my wife asking me "is it supposed to do that"      every time it does it - I am ready to drive the boat into the rocks. What is everyone else doing? Help!!
Thanks,

2005 Challenger 180

Come on I can't be the only one having this problem - any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

As far as I know, you can not adjust the ride plate on the C180, and the bounce seems to be a problem that we all have. Trim plates seem to be a must for these boats but from what I have been reading the C180 is a hard fit due to the small transom on the boat. The only way I can cotrol the bouncing is by limiting my speed, but I am keeping my eyes and ears open for a trim system that will work.
