    Stratos 21 SS Extreme - Need advise

    Looking to buy a 2000 Stratos 21 SS Extreme. Can I get pro's and Con's on this boat? Things I should look for before I buy? It does not have a motor at this time. I will be installing a 2017 Mercury 250 Pro XS if I get it. Thanks.

    When these boats are set up correct they are a blast to drive and they will absolutely set the water on fire.my coworker had one for years.never heard him complain.tons of storage room especially in the back.if the previous owner took care of the boat you will not be disappointed. thanks and good luck

    I have one. I see 70 + mph all the time. Leans a little on blast off but once on plane will run with the best of the them. Great rough water boat too. I agree with the trailer comment above.....look closely at the cross members and especially around the rear of the trailer where the small reverse lights are located (end of the main frame rail). Prone to rust in these areas.
