    May choose stratos again

    Good morning and belated christmas to everyone. Recently retired and seriously thinking of pulling the plug and buying a NEW stratos. I currently own a stratos and decided it's time to treat myself. My MAIN question is the how durable are all the switches at the drivers helm. Do they hold up in damp, rainy conditions? Some other boats I have checked on (NITRO'S) have the touch key pad and once damp of wet, they lock out---- YES you're able to somewhat reset them, but NOT all things in boat will work, without buying a new switchplate and the "brain" behind it. APPX $1000.00 or more but getting a complete unit is impossible from what I read and hear. I'm looking a either a leftover 2021 or a 2022. Thanks in advance for any/all opinions in advance---- sorry for the long post!

    You won’t find a 2021 or 2022 Stratos. Johnny Morris killed the brand a few years ago.
