Let's get this forum into high gear! We've got the "List Your Ride" post, be sure to stop in and leave us some pics and a description of your Stratos boat! Does anybody have any good stories about their Stratos?

I sure love my 201ProXL! Handles like a dream, great roughwater ride, fuel economy with the Etec is terriffic....and topend isn't too bad either..

Here's mine, an '89 275 Pro XL with a 150 Rude and 22p Raker.

Picked this up from the original owner about 3 yrs ago and I've loved it. Looking to buy a new one next year. I need to see the 294 before making a decision.

You will love the 294. With a 200HO Etec, it is one sweet ride!

Friend of mine has a Hydra-Sports which is the same hull as my 94 Stratos 270. I've got a relatively new Mercury 150 EFI and he's got the same Johnson 150 you have on your boat. He runs circles around me, probably 7 MPH at the top end. I don't know if it is the setup, the motor, or the driver. I'm hoping its the motor. That 150 Johnson will run.

Pretty boat.

I have gps'd mine at 66mph, and some don't believe it until we get out and run. It will 63-64 constantly. I found the boat undercover in a garage and it had 25 hours on it two years ago when I got it. Definately a diamond in the rough. It was from an elderly man. All I have done is changed plugs, oil, gas, and decarbed. And runs like a top. Best of all its paid for.

Since Javelins were the sistership to Stratos until 2003 do they qualify for posting on this site??

AB · « **Reply #10 on:** May 26, 2006, 09:35:02 PM »

Yep, they sure do! Javelin is just Stratos' little stepsister....

I'm betting the Hydro weighs about 250lb.s less than your stratos
