2003. Some of the 03's had the old stripes, some had the new "wave". I opted for the old stripes![]()

The old, old, stripes ended in '99 I believe.
This was also the year that the old stripes began (on the SS hulls). Those stayed on the 19, 20, 21, and 22 SS boats ('99, '00, '01) and then the 18, 19, 20, and 21 XL boats through '03.
Also in '03 is when the new stripes started on the 185, 195, 200, and 201's. Those have stuck around through present day with a small adjustment to the wave in '07.

The subtle change to the wave....
Now, for 2011 with the Elite series, there is also new striping (carried over from the Champs).

The tribal "wave" as you cal lit is without a doubt one of the best looking in the industry IMO.
Very bold, makes an "in your face" statement like Stratos performance.![]()
ASfor the Elite series.....well where is the *YAWN* icon![]()

Well that arrow in the Elite striping is as important, if not more important, to the Champ folks as the wave is to the Stratos folks....![]()

Yeah, the Champion stripe has a lot more parts, pieces, and character than the "wave" we have on our rides. You need to get over the fact that your cousin moved in to the house and made things that much better!![]()

I always liked the strips on the "SS" boats myself.
Bring back the old wave and the windshields that actualy sheilded wind!
Since mine has the newest wave logo stripe I like it best... Stratos has always had a pretty boat... Dan
