I have a single console on this rig. It is ok, I love the floor space it provides, but the next one will be a dual console strictly to anyone riding with me has more to hold onto than one "oh chit" handle...apparently some people don't like WOT all the time...

I picked the 225 because the 250HO was not available yet... But I am glad I did, hell, any 21' tourney boat that will run upper 70's loaded to fish is pretty good. I actually got her up to 79 again last night once things had cooled down a bit (upper 80's) in the evening.

I agree with Duane, the Yamaha HPDI and Evinrude Etec seem to perform better on the Stratos hulls. The Mercs just seem to struggle a bit in the lift department and propping seems to be harder on them for some reason.
