    201 Duo Pro Xl

    I am looking at a few of these crossover boats online. Anyone have any thoughts on them; pro or con?

    The people that have had them really seem to like them. No carpet to mess up. Performance compared to the regular 201 is practically identical. Ratings and capacities were the same between the two boats.

    No real negatives that I can really remember seeing from anyone over the years.

    Easy to wash down and you don't need to worry about them being 100% dry to put your cover on if you store them outside. More area to wash and the floor and decks look dirty quickly, but with a few squirts of simple green and a long handled scrub brush, those areas are scrubbed down and rinsed in a matter of minutes. I keep beating my head aginst the wall asking myself why I really got rid of mine.
    Only problem was that the lids started getting cracks in them. Stratos made me new ones and they were a bright,stark white, and the boat was more of a dull white. Looked like a polka dotted ass dog. At the same time I had the "New Boat Itch" and it was easy to use that as an excuse to trade it in.
    I know my next boat will be of the Non-Skid variety. Right now, because Stratos stopped making them, it will be a Ranger Z-21 Intracoastal. I was hoping to order a late year 2010 or early 2011, but with the economy and housing market in the shitter, it looks like it will be a late 2011 or 12
