Got my new rig...wanted to share!

Post by FinesseKid »

Just got my new rig a last week. After a triple Mothers wax I took a few pics and wanted to share. Brand new Stratos 201 Evolution! :-)

no more backseat, but now no one to blame but yourself. Sure you will be stoked on launching her the first few times. Good luck and live the dream , Just don't beat yourself up too bad when you don't perform. Even the greats have bad days but I'll admit it is nice to be in control of ones destiny. Am I getting too heavy? Any way use her in good health with the wind in your face!!

Im sure I will still backseat in tournaments because I like the idea of learning from different pros. The great thing is now that I can go to Diamond Valley and learn the water during the week and get in TONS of practice when I couldnt do that before. I am stoked to no end! LOL

Nothing like having a real nice boat, your gonna love it. Thats a beautiful ride, Life is better with a sweet ride and thats what you got, it will ride well in rough water too. Good oil, fuel additives, safety gear and good maintenance records and that will provide you many years of fun. Nice choice she's a looker and performer.

All that glam and that's all the motor you got?

Sheesh, you'll be lucky to break 85-90 mph with that!

I was VERY lucky and got a really good price on a closeout boat. It just happened to be the color combo I would have ordered anyway. So, it was kinda like a needle in a haystack and a 1 time shot.

As a Stratos 201 owner, you are going to love that ride....especially in heavy chop. Some of the other boats will run in the chop, but a lot more pounding and bouncing.

I had it delivered. Autokraft Transport Inc. brought it out on a big flatbed carrier with 3 other boats.
