Challengers and Southwinds

[BigBlockBaja]

How much different is a Challenger 18' bottom different from a Southwind 18' ?
Only reason I'm asking is in the Show Your Jets thread, Allot of the southwinds sit higher than mine sits, and I got less interior....
Any ideas?

Should be close to the same. I believe the Challenger is a splash of the Southwind

Sorry about the interior, Just got the boat in the water late this summer....
Only differences I see is I got a bbf and brooski got a bbc....
Thoughts?

Yup, there is a big difference in how the boats sit in the water. Mine sits alot higher. I dont think there is that big of a weight difference between the Ford and the Chevy.

You don't think it could be the four boaters inside the boat that is making it appear to sit lower. lol
