I had to get the boat running this Sunday. Gave her a bath, put 2 fresh batteries in her and put the freeze plugs back in her. She fired right up.

Anyone else done or plan on doing it?

Thanks! I love it. Holds up to 15 people 8-10 comftarble. Plus I can still wake board, tube, ski, whatever behind it. Its a 2000 model (8yrs old.). Had it since it was new, dont think ill ever get rid of her.

lets see,
un shrink wrap it, get it detailed, put on the stern drives. drop in the motors, put all the seat cushions in place, re stock the boat with the essentials. put in 6 deep cycle batteries as well a re stretch the canvas canopy cover and then cycle through the regular usage to know there is no blocked lines, air leaks any of that crap.
i will be doing that this saturday

Howdy! I have a Campion 18ft outboard bowrider with a Yamaha 115hp. that is still in storage at Airdrie Alberta (15 mins. north of Calgary) It snowed AGAIN on Friday night and the temperature is -10 celsius (16+- F). Your pictures got my juices flowing but nothing can be done until probably 3 more weeks! Oh, well. I have at least been able to get some flying in this winter as we have had a few good days. Happy and safe boating!

She tops out at 78 MPH on GPS on a 1' to 2' chop with a full tank of gas 60 gallons, my son 175 Lbs and Me 218 Lbs.
55 was cold when hitting 50 MPH or better ! LOL
SuperBoats are built lightweight to go fast and will take rough water .
My boat is on SuperBoats web site http://www.superboatonline.com/24.html
Dash trim has been changed from yellow to blue.
