    New to the family!

    Ok, been wanting to get back to fishing. Being disabled, money is tight. I found this 1990 Stratos 17 foot with Evinrude GT150. It is in really good shape for a 30 year old boat. I am beyond excited!! Can anyone tell me what model it may be? Thanks for yalls time for listening to an old cripple ramble on. God Bless. <>< del

    Would that be a 284??? Short but wide. Could be wrong.

    I would run the 150 in a flush tank the first time. Muffs don't always provide enough water to get the pee holes working. My yamaha 150 won't pee out the top on muffs, so now I only use a flush tank. My Suziki 140 on my pontoon boat runs great on muffs just not the Yamaha.
    Flush tank lets you run longer and not so loud.
