Question about a Stratos Boat

[Benchmark]

Hey everyone,


I’m new to bass boats but been fishing with the poor from the bank all my life. (Just kidden)
I’m considering purchasing a 2004 Stratos 201 pro xl with a Yamaha hpdi 250.
The boat is super clean but unknown miles and compression is 85/95 on 5 and 6 cylinder. It’s runs good with no issues. Should I steer away or is there anything I can check to confirm no issues will arise?


Thanks for any help

Suggest you post to the Stratos/Javelin site. You may get more response there.

Thank you

And the Yamaha motor site also.

Buy it cheap because it needs a rebuild. That sucks for compression

[jbcskibum]

What year is the motor? Compression on other cylinders?

[jbeaudry05]

Compression definitely sounds low. Unless it's a really good deal and you dont mind rebuilding the motor or repowering I'd probably keep looking
