hey im gonna buy a 91 16.5 foot campion explorer with a 75hp 3cyl merc. ob. has anyone had any experiance with these boats? its fully loaded with 2 cannon downriggers and much more. very low hrs and in excelent shape. 4350 is the asking price, sound like a decent deal? thanks

I don't own one, but I've looked at many. Nice boats. How many hours? How's the trailer? The price sounds good.

Regards.

They're nice boats,I bought mine last year.It's a 1995 18.5 explorer with a 2000 115hp suzuki and a 2001 honda 8hp 4-stroke kicker.I paid $12,000.00 for it and it blue booked @ over $15,500.00 with out the kicker,I added that after I bought it.Sounds like the price is right on yours,how ever,how many hours are on it????????????.How good of shape is the trailer???????.My boat had a total of 180 hours with only 20 on the new motor.I've had just over a year and it has 208 hours on it.Good luck,

the motor has approx. 150hrs on it. the trailer looks to be a little abused but not really in bad shape at all. also was looking in to getting somekind of canvas enclosure or it. does anyone know of a good bimini/canvas combo or whatever that would work for this boat? will be in elliot bay friday eve. sat and sunday, cya out there!

Don't go cheap on your canvas. Get a good custom made canvas from your local upolstry shop and you will be much happier than if you buy a out of the box version from cabellas or boaters world. Done it both ways and can say the extra cost of the custom top was very well worth it. :p

Ditto the custom canvas. Only way to go. Fits better, lasts longer, looks great.

Second that on the custom top.I've done it twice and was happy both times.They were for separate boats.Good luck,

i own one its been a very good boat, 80hp merc and the custom canvas, 4350 is a very good price if its in as good of shape as you say, very sea worthy boat for its size, been out in the ocean many times in oregon and even at neah bay, just got back tonight from horsefly canada and had it out on the big lakes up there, the 75hp should give you plenty of power and run for almost ever on its fuel supply, good luck doug
