Ulrich Marine's Ultimate Challenge Owners Tournament
October 11th-12th, 2025
The Legacy Continues — And Grows
What started as the iconic Champion Owners Tournament in the 1990s was reborn in 2017 for Champion and Charger Boat owners. This fall, the tradition gets even stronger — as Ulrich Marine welcomes Basscat and iKon boat owners into the family.
Last year brought unexpected challenges — Charger Boats paused production, and securing a venue proved difficult — but thanks to the loyalty and feedback of longtime participants, the Ultimate Challenge is back, reimagined and stronger than ever.
This is more than a tournament.
It’s a reunion, a competition, and a celebration of what unites us: our boats, our stories, and our love for the water.
