Maybe with the exception of the leaks, I believe all of those issues are more dealer than manufacturer. And ALL manufacturers have minor issues from the factory. Not every boat, but a good portion of them. Yes, even Ranger's have issues from the factory.

Before you rip on Stratos, you should be sure where the issue really lies. NOW, if those items are rigged at the factory, then I would say there MAY be a problem with that particular build.

The next question is, did the dealer respond to the issues in a timely manner? Again, the dealer is the key in this whole buying process. Why did they not check the boat against the order ticket?

I would question the dealer before the manufacturer.
