A Winning HistoryChallenger Powerboats is proud to present this impressive new line of premium production boats, inspired by our

success in offshore racing. As the major sponsor for Team Gallagher Offshore Racing for 2007, Challenger is one of the most respected competitors on the circuit.

Built to Be the BestAll Challenger boats feature wood-free, composite construction hulls matched with the very latest quality

marine technology, including MerCruiser ® engines and sterndrives, Cole Hersee electrical systems, SmartCraft ® high performance instrumentation and carbon fi ber dash panels. These world-class boats

are built with pride at our 65,000 sq. ft. dedicated facility in Washington, Missouri.

Quality comes Standard on a ChallengerOther manufacturers offer premium components as an option, but Challenger’s standard

features include stainless steel fi ttings throughout, grab rails and bow rails, oversize cup holders, stainless steel docking lights, and much more. Unique touches include LED cockpit

lighting, pop-out cleats and power-rise stern running lights.

The Challenger Fun FactorFor a winning combination of comfort and performance,

Challenger powerboats match family-friendly amenities— like large swim platforms and luxurious upholstery—

with racing-class technology and thrill-a-minute propulsion. Whether you prefer skiing, cruising, or just soaking up the sun,

these full-feature boats are fun for everyone.

Powered by MercuryBecause Challenger has been certifi ed as a Mercury Quality Installer, our powerboats come

with a 2-year limited engine warranty. Every MerCruiser sterndrive we install comes with turnkey starting and SmartCraft technology that monitors and fi ne-tunes the engine to

make sure it runs at peak effi ciency.
