I am considering a Stratos 176XT with a 75 Etec or 75 Opti. Just wondering what peoples' thoughts are regarding this boat. I did a test run this week in one with a 60 Etec. I was actually very impressed ... gets right on plane and did an easy 38 mph (speedo). It handled great and is very stable for being so small. Definitely better than any comparable aluminum package I've looked at.
