    186 VLO purchase

    Hey guys, first post here been browsing for a while. I am looking at a 2016 Stratos 186 VLO with the 135 evinrude on it, motor has 3 hours on it. I was wondering what if any issues are known with this boat. Also wondering if $27,200 is a fairly good deal? Can't find much info on this boat. Thanks for any help

    That will be a good boat for sure as well as the Engine. Check with a dealer to see what the same package would cost if you were to order one.

    Thanks for the help man, the dealer told him he could sell it for $32k which I find hard to believe. It has an HDS 7 gen 2 on the bow, upgraded trolling motor to a 70lb 24 volt, and dual console

    I just purchased 2017 186 vlo with the 135 ho single console new for 21,500 2 days ago.This boat was one of the tournament and the winners use the dealer that sponsored the tournament to broker the sale which ended up a hell of a deal for me. Eight year warranty on the motor lifetime on the hull. Runs 56 mph with two people loaded no jack plate and rides like a dream.

    Price seems a little high to me. I have a 2015 and paid 25k for it.

    This is my third season on mine and it''s been a good boat so far. I did have an oil leak but the oil pump was replaced under warranty.

    That price is high.

    Thanks for the help guys, I too thought the price was a little steep and decided it was a no go
