New to the CX line-up for 2008, the 188 sets a new 19 ft. benchmark in ride, performance and affordability. Here’s the opportunity to step up to all the tournament level features you need in a more compact overall length. Wider than most boats this length, its 92.5 in. beam is more parallel between the bow gunnels creating large, wide-open casting decks. The wider decks permit huge dry storage lockers, roomy 7 ft. 6 in. rod lockers and a large 40 gal. Hydro-Air aerator livewell system. Combined with its striking styling and Champion’s unsurpassed ride, superior fishability is ensured in this new model. Top brand components include a Lowrance in-dash X-135 locator with temp, a hard-wired MotorGuide FW71FB 24V trolling motor, trouble-free Flow-Rite Snap Lock plumbing, smooth SeaStar hydraulic steering and a 10 in. R&R jack plate. When it comes to compact performance, this rig with its Elite Series breeding makes a very big statement.
