Nathan brought his Stroker to the Southern Rally, my first up close look at these boats. Was impressed with the layout, finish was excellent all the way. What impressed me the most was the ride. I have a Stratos 201 Evolution/300 yammie ph 3, and have had many compliments on the soft ride, and it does ride good. Nate and I ran back into a good wind blowing right down the middle of the lake. Had a pretty good chop for several miles. We were running 50-55 mph, was just the right speed to step over the waves. Nate's boat was steady as a rock, at least as smooth as mine, and maybe better. Was really impressed with how well the boat handled the chop. Crossed some good sized wakes mixed in, was just solid as a rock. We caught and passed a couple boats of other brands that were not riding nearly as good as we were. I was impressed![]()
