Birchwood 360 Challenger with KAD43 Outdrive, commissioned 2000
Do any Forumites have experience of one?
Fitting quality, seakeeping. Hull layup etc. There dont seem to be many about, I’m not sure why!!

All comments appreciated

I saw a 320 challenger recently which looked good overall didnt get a chance to look through it and check it out properly but certainly looked ok.

Don't know about the single outdrive model but the twin engined ones seem great. A local lottery winner had one for a few years and I've been onboard - lovely interior, loads of space and good for 30 knots +. My own feeling is that the exterior design of windows and lines looks a bit dated?!! Only my opinion mind you. his put me off buying, and we wanted something a bit smaller. Have you been on b/w site? :: www.birchwood.co.uk.

Just cos I've gone diesel Birchwood to petrol Rinker, you don't need to reverse the process Alistair. Or is it to keep the balance right on the forum? It needs a few more B'wood promoters!

Nice boats, and excellent VFM I suspect.

I can say the hull and build quality is fantastic on my TS37 which I believe is the same mould????

<<There dont seem to be many about, I’m not sure why>>

Errr, there aren't many around because they didn't sell that many, presumably because not many new buyers thought that they were that good in comparison with the competition.

I am not saying Birchwoods are bad boats but the brand does not have a good reputation, only sometimes unfairly so.

If you like it and don't care what other people think of it - Fine
