If this was about catching fish, I reckon a shore fisherperson could do just as well or better catching fish rather than outspending the neighbor's shiney boat on many lakes.
I can honestly say after fishing out of an 18' nitro for thebfirst time last year, I'd take the stratos any day of the week... just my opinion..So is the Stratos on the same level as Triton, Nitro, Larsen and skeeter when comparing fiberglass? I’m assuming Ranger, Warrior, Lund gl, and Yarcraft are the top tier.
For a ten year old used boat could a guy even go back to the manufacturer if problems developed?
