[QUOTE="Hookin8easy, post: 224153, member: 1403"] I know I’m probably a minority here but I was aluminum all my life until I got a Stratos 386 3 years ago, the only thing I miss is a roller trailer! I loved being able to just get the boat close enough to when she falls off the trailer it’s in water and you were set to go. When I was pricing my go to boats for the layout I wanted it was between skeeter, Stratos, alumacraft, or the Lund crossover. IMO the aluminum boats were pricing themselves out of the market-with what came standard on Stratos and skeeter compared to adding the options on the tin ones I came within 6-7k differences when apples to apples, and that difference was largely ate up by motor size on the tin being 115hp and 150’s on the glass. Luckily for me I found a 2 yr old with 12 hours on it and 3 yr motor warranty left for well under book on anything and laid out perfectly for me [/QUOTE]
