    Stratos 201 Good bad and the ugly...Opinions needed

    Hi guys and gals. Thinking about a late 90's - about 2002 201 Stratos as my next boat. Can anybody with experience on this model let me know the good and not so good about this hull?

    99 was last year in that range for the 201. It came back in 2003. It is 20’1 with 225 max as opposed to the after 2003 that is 20’8”
    with 250max.
    I loved that hull. Was fun to drive. Not a speedster. But ran 70 with a good 225 and had a really nice ride.

    Don't think you'll find many negative reviews on that boat!
    Just can't leave well enough alone!!

    No complaints here, 99 201, rated for a 245hp, if I repowered from my 225 etec I'd go for a 250. 70mph tourney load surprises the skeeters and rangers lol
