A New member!

I will be joining this board as I am the proud owner of a 2003 200 XL stratos! Looking forward to learning from the seasoned owners! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/newyear1.gif

Give us the low down on the boat. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Welcome to this side Stephen. How do you like the 200? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Just test drove it yesterday on Lake hickory and brought it home and got it in the garage just before this bad weather hit ( We are getting lots of snow right now in NC). I love it. Has a Mercury 225 EFI, minn kota 101, lowrance electronics. will post a picture later on as I am at work right now.

Congrats Stephen http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

Waiting http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif for pics

So I'm assuming the guy who sold the boat kissed the ground when u bought it considering you bought it on the verge of a snow storm. I'm sure you got one heck of a deal too. That boat must haul ass with a 225 on it.

Welcome Aboard Stephen!!

200's take some time to learn how to drive but are a very stable fishing platform. And of course I'm not biased in any way. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

shoot a pic of the battery compartment. I would like to see how they fit the 36v system in there.

Will do! I'll snap some pics when I get home.
