Sea-Doo’s
latest sport boat is ready for excitement when you are!
 Go
fast or go home perfectly coins Sea-Doo’s 2006
Challenger 180 CS. But with many interesting highlights
such as plush seating and several amenities, this entry
provides comfort in the fast lane for the whole family.
While the 180 CS has an LOA of 17 feet, seven inches,
company designers maximized its beam to offer plenty
of space for many features.
Complementing the 180’s sleek profile is a large
wraparound windshield. It’s large enough to offer
ample protection from wind or water spray and tapers
all the way amidships. Six stainless steel cleats are
found throughout while some other exterior appointments
include a ski tow-eye, bow and stern eyes, rub rail
and exhaust vents for the 215 hp 4-TEC four-stroke engine.
Located aft is a large swim platform featuring a convenient,
concealed ladder and three grab handles for easier access
out of the water. Just forward of the platform are a
pair of storage compartments port and starboard, providing
ample room for PFDs, lines or other boat gear. In between
these compartments is a transom walk-thru for convenient
access into the cockpit.
The interior of the 180 is deep and comfortable. There’s
a large, aft bench, passenger seat, helm bucket plus
a U-shaped bench in the bow. Bow filler cushions are
available to transform this area to a large and comfortable
sunlounge. The seats at the helm and companion console
swivel to conveniently face passengers sitting on the
aft bench while grab rails are found throughout for
added security in rough weather.
Storage space on the 180 CS is abundant. Users will
find a built-in cooler below the port side cushion on
the aft bench, while more gear or supplies can be stowed
in the large in-floor locker and under the cushions
in the bow. A glove box is incorporated at the companion
console to safely conceal sunglasses, keys or other
valuables.
Drivers of the 180 CS will appreciate the helm. It’s
stylish, has a clean layout and features full instrumentation
with backlit gauges and rocker switches. Sparing no
expense in the performance department, Sea-Doo powered
the 180 CS with a supercharged, intercooled 215 hp 4-TEC
four-stroke engine. Not only does this provide ample
performance for wakeboarding skiing, or tubing, but
it can easily take you where you want to go quick and
efficiently.
Some other added features exclusive to the 180 CS is
custom-fit snap-in carpeting, a stereo remote and optional
waketower. The 180 CS is available in Steel Blue or
Fire Copper.
