I have been looking for years for one of these to restore and have had no luck at all.
I would like an I/O, if anyone knows of one in the N.Y.S. or N.east please let me know.

proud owner of an almoste mint original 81 hammond challenger only 114 hrs bought it from a widow it was her hubbys and has been in storage for over 20 years

i was trying to find information about hammond boats. i stumbled across this forum.. from reading what you guys say about them...seems like they are awesome boats..
i found a 1978 v1950 in my area. got the merc 165/merc outdrive.
its is very rough shape. the deck-hull joint is splitting on a good 3 feet on the left side, you can push the bottom in under the molding.
its my first boat project. i dont really know what im getting into but was wondering if it was worth restoring the old guy..??
what kind of fixing would the hull need? pricy? also the clear coat on the gel peelled off in a lot of areas. sand and respray? or am i looking into a regel?
hes asking 800 for it.. from what ive seen i wouldnt offer more than 500$

also are parts still available? if so where could them ?
thanks for your help

Be Careful !
 

The Hammonds were built to be mass produced like the Glastrons using a chopper gun. So you may find some severe weaknesses on older hulls. And really check those Strykers also!
The layup details and materials were not as stringent as the usual high-performance company might utilize.

From what I hear the Superboat, The Shadow and the Tuff versions are quite solid and modern in construction.

Great Hammond Challenger vid on Classic Glastrons!!

I almost bought one of those in 84... I drove to Phoenix from LA in August (118 degrees !) to see it but settled on a custom Hallett built here.

But yes I'd love to restore one also.

The SS drive... How cool is that? I haven't seen one of those in quite a while. It is more aerodynamic than any Bravo...even with a nose cone....however they do have power limitations and it seems you're running some pretty good horsepower there! :)

Sounds like a great find, Gary! I never did get a chance to send any pics of mine to you tonight. The computer the pics are on is in rough shape and things take forever to do!

I wish him luck on that price, he doesn't really want to sell:eek:

dan would still love to see some pictures of her the through haul sound interesting theres another guy down here who wants one send me your pictures

Any photos of the power? Are you using an MAF?

my father had 1984 Hammond V-1950 El Dorado, but was destroyed back in 1995 at trip... after seeing all these photos i'm actually missing my boat..

MAF? Engine is LSA Supercharged 550hp w/Bravo 1 XR

Does the engine use a mass air flow sensor?

You got me brother. In the words of the immortal Donald Sutherland AKA Odd Ball "I just drive em, I don't know what makes em go"

I do the research on these projects and manage them but leave these kinds of details to the people that build/sell/work on them every day.

1981 2150 Challenger for sale
 

Looking to sell my 21' Hammond. I had plans to re-do the boat with a 500+ hp small block with Bravo drive, but life got in the way. I already purchased a brand new from Mercury Bravo transom assembly. It has not been in the water since '09. Boat is in good shape, with mid '90's 4 color paint job and mint matching interior. It sits on the original tandem trailer with new radials and mags. 350 engine with aluminum manifolds and risersand through hull exhaust. If anyone is interested, I can send pics.

hi. what kind of money, what is in the boat, and where is it? like real estate location is a big thing. if you are in miami, it isn't worth free to a guy in seattle...

The boat is in British Columbia, Canada, about an hour outside of Vancouver. It has a 260 hp 350 Merc(chev) with less than 400 hours. Looking to get around $8,000 for it.

Hi. I too looked at this boat when she was selling it and at the time, I went a different direction. I have loved these boats since I was a kid and have been kicking myself for not purchasing it at that time. Do you have any interest in parting with the Challenger? Thanks!

I found an '81 Hammond Challenger without the molded in swim platform, did they all come with them? If so I'm thinking new transom on this one. Have not seen it in person yet just pics.

Start a new thread. Nobody wants to read thru 13 pages of 12 year old thread to get to what you have to say or need to know.
