    We need more info. What engine/pump combo? I have a 78 18'6" Challenger w/ a 460/Jacuzzi Golden Eagle combo and I really like the boat. Throw in some details if you can.

    I have the 1977 18"6" Challenger w/460/Jacuzzi Golden Eagle also. I like the boat just fine. I do kinda wish I had a diverter. Other than that it has held up well since 1977.

    i had a 76 challenger 460/berkley the boat ran great until the floor cracked do to the fact the stringers stop at the front of the
    motor. cost me $2500 to fix it.i would of scrapped it but i just spent $1200 for all
    new wood and interior.

    my challenger has a berkeley 12jg with a A-impeller a 454 bored .60 over with a offienhowser tunnel ram with 2 650 holley carbs and the jet has been set back by a butcher who put it in before i purchased it. The engine puts out about 500hp. my main concern is have any one replaced the floor board and center stringer on there boats

    Sorry Nick, not me. It is probably a bit of work. I would guess, not impossible for the lay person though.
