stratos 176xt
i took a ride last night in shag nasty's spanking new stratos.
this is the 100% glass ride new for stratos also it is advertised as a $12k boat rigged with a 50. imo the storage was first rate. the center locking rod box was roomy. shag had 15, 6'6'' rigged rods in it.. rode great for it's size. fished ok - a deck level troller pan would have made it fish great- now shag is 300+ i weigh 360. the 75 horse e-tech was bustin it butt to get us on plane and when it did plane out it ran good and pushed the gps up to 40 mph which is ok.. this boat is 84" wide it fishes alot like a bigger boat.. it has a funtional passanger rod ramp. the small lowance-x50- on the dash was just begging for an upgrade but funtionable. there is plenty of room up front to put an additional graph up there. the down sides imo are. probly the biggest down side is the max horse rating-75-.. no insuated ice chest -this is a must for summer angling in the south.. though it has room to up grade your gauges comes with just 3 installed. gas gauge, tach,speedo..which was off by 2 mph.. zooker
