    Smalljaws, try calling Reed at Riverside Marine and see if he has any ideas on a quality cover for the Stratos. I purposely got my 285 Pxl because it fit the garage by a margin of about 2". Now that I have it, I can't imagine keeping a glass boat outdoors. Take a look at the deals on 10' x 20' structures at Pep Boys or Academy Sports, they atre pretty cost effective if you don't have any neighborhood issues.

    Re: cover for stratos 285 magnum (smalljaws)

    small jaws, I have a sharkskin cover made by Westland that I got from Cabelas...it was a return and I got a good price that I could pass along...it was originally made for a Skeeter 200ZX 1994-1996 model. The reason that I am selling is because it is too short for my Stratos 201. The cover is in new condition...10 out of 10...the straps are still bundled in original packaging. If the size works for you, I am only wanting $100+shipping. I really wish this cover worked for my boat. I have an individual that is showing interest. If you are also interested, shoot me an email at stratosman201@hotmail.com.

    Went to the iboats site and checked out the cover. There were like 3 grades of covers: A B C. Did you get the B grade? Were all the straps included and does it matter which side the trolling motor was mounted on.

    fits like a glove: "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!"

    Thanx for any info.
