In a short paragraph or two, tell us what you like about your Stratos.

The boat is perfect size for the rough waters of winnebago and poygan and awesome for the river. We have a 200hp mercury efi on it. Had a 200hp mercury carburated until we wrecked 2 cylinders on it. The full windshield is deffinately nice for the cold days and the front and rear casting deck make casting with the windshield a nonfactor. The only bad part of this boat is not being able to put a kicker on it so we don't troll. We have found different ways of catching fish other than trolling and sometimes we can out fish the guys that are trolling. 2 big livewells and a big fish well makes it very easy to keep our catch alive. All in all it is a great boat.
