I have the opportunity to buy a 2004 Stratos 285 Pro Xl with same year Evinrude Direct Injected 150hp engine. What does everyone think of this rig? Is the engine pretty solid? Also the boat is still in winter storage. The dealer wanted to know if I wanted to put a deposit to hold it pending inspection. Is this something I should feel comfortable with? It is a reputable dealer, but I just never put a deposit on something I have not at least seen yet.
Thanks
