    Wood or composite transom?

    I see a lot of Stratos forsale, just wondering if or when they went to composite transoms?

    The transition year was 97. Some 97 models were composite and some were not...by 98 all Stratos models were composite.

    So no wood to rot? How tough are the transoms?

    tons of old stratos boats still fishing out there, so plenty strong!
