Challenger Powerboats

From WikiCover

Challenger Powerboats designs and manufactures high performance offshore racing boats, family sport cruisers, jet boats and water ski tow boats under the brands Challenger Powerboats, Sugar Sand and Gekko, which target the recreational boating market.

The company has manufacturing facilities in Washington, Missouri and Fargo, North Dakota.

In the spring of 2007, the company received orders for thirty-six Sugar Sand and seventeen Gekko boats.

The Sugar Sand line of jet driven boats uses the same propulsion techniques as jet fighters, range from the 14 foot Sting model to the 23 foot Oasis model, and are all designed for extreme water sports, speed, or just leisure cruising. Because of their water jet engineering, the boats can be used in shallow water ways and are highly maneuverable, bringing their sports capabilities to the extreme.

Challenger's Gekko line of boats, engineered with the most advanced engineered aerospace technology and exceptional strength, range from 20 feet two inches to 23 feet three inches and offer Mercury powered, 315 horse powered engines. Gekko's superior handling and performance are empowered by its patented keel-forward hull design that tames rough water.

Challenger's Sugar Sand line of boats includes the Sting (14 feet), the Tango Xtreme and the Tango Super Sport (both 16.5 feet), the Mirage and Mirage Fun and Fish (both 18 feet), the Calais (19.5 feet) and the Oasis (23 feet). Its jet-powered propulsion consumes less fuel, has no outdrive or transmission, resulting in 100% of the power going directly to driving velocity, minimal maintenance and easy operation.

Challenger's Gekko boats are a line of world class tow boats, built to deliver the smoothest ride and produce symmetrical wakes that are essential for water sports. Using its patented deep forward keel design, Gekko boats slice through the roughest water to eliminate spray and promote acceleration.
