    Not one stress crack

    Looking over my 2006 285xl and man its still a heck of a boat! Fits me perfect and the thing has held up like new with zero issues! Stratos was a great boat company its too bad they weren't still around.

    Great to hear positive information on these forums. I hope my 2017 294 holds up that well also. Favorite boat I have owned by far.

    do you fish mainly smaller bodies of water? My 2004 295xl had zero stress cracks when I bought it used in 2012 but when I took it out to big lakes with big waves beating up on you, it then develop some stress cracks on the bow.
