    Stratos quality

    I have a 94 254 that is in near mint condition. The boat was very well taken care of. What amazes me most is the quality construction. I can be out all day running at high speens,low speeds, trolling etc. all day long. I never have to pull the plug after I load the boat on the trailer. It isn't even damp on the inside. My bilge pumps have never been operated before.
    My last boat had to pull the plug and let a gallon of wather come out. I always had to remember to put the plug in before I put the boat in the water. Not any more. I never touch it.
    I am in the market fo a new boat,and I want a Triton. However,I can't forget what an amazing Stratos boat I have

    Why would you want a Triton if your impressed with Stratos' quality? The newer Strat's I've seen and been around are sharp. Not to mention fast.

    Re: Stratos quality (bassmants)

    I guess it is because I have a local dealer that sells Tritons,and I see them often.
    I only live 35 miles from C&O,so it isnt a problem for me to buy a Stratos,and have it serviced there also.

    My closest stratos dealer is a 8 hr. drive one way, ranger and triton are about half that far and there aint no way I would change boat brands. stratos has it all ride, preformance,looks, and quality not to mention some great dealers.

    Also, you won`t get better customer service from any one like Stratos offers.



    There is a fine line between \"FISHING\" and just standing in the boat going through the motions!!!

    I also have a 254 1993 model. Mine was in mint condition....the cosmetics are a little weathered now because I left it outside uncovered for 5 years or so. The boat is still in very good shape structurally and everything is still original and works other than some new batteries.

    i have a 1993 Stratos 275xl and my next new boat will be a stratos. I think for the price they have it going on.

    I am still amazed that running 65 mph across a rough lake and i am completely dry. I couldn't even do that in my speed boat.

    Re: (jason1974)

    Brad,
    I got lucky and found a boat that was not in the water much,and was covered with 2 covers in his garage. When I came to see the boat,he did not uncover it until he saw me coming up his driveway. I found out about it through a friend of a friend. It is a once in a lifetime find.
    If you do not aleady use bass boat saver,I strongly suggest you buy some and use it. It is the most amazing product I have ever purchased
