Good morning,
I am looking at buying a 295TF with a yamaha 150. Boat is in great shape, garage kept. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the power of the 150 for this boat? How would you compare this to a 96 stratos 295 pro XL with a 150 johnson fast strike? Thanks in advance...
The Stratos will be faster, but not by too much. That 296 should run about 60mph with a 150, but the ride will be better and it will be a much more stable platform while fishing - imo.
Propped right it should be a great ride not a speed demon but a all around good ride. If the boat is in that good of condition run it as is till the motor has issues then repower up.
Yep I saw that boat. Should treat you very well. Does that model have the section on the starboard side front deck for the pork jars?? I really like the looks of the classic Chargers. Love the “Touch of Class” on the rear!
