Does a skeletal champion keep the feat(s) of the base creature?

[Saturos]

The base creature looses all feats when it becomes a normal skeleton.

The skeletal champion is a template you add to a living creature and while it uses some stats of the skeleton when it comes to feats all the skeletal champions stat block says is that it gains improved initiative as a bonus feat.

Does that mean a skeletal champion keep all the feats of the base creature?

I'd say yes. My impression has always been that's kinda the point of skeletal champions.
