We'll here are a couple pictures of the new project just got her home. Only thing I know for sure is there are a few small holes in the hull I can get to from both sides fairly easy. Have not cked transom and stringers but I will.

LOL!!! That didn't take long. Nice deep V and I like the bow rail. The scuppers are below the bottom paint...Hmmm...it's like looking into the future :) Can't wait to see the plan.

Absolutely welcome aboard.
Jc So far plan is to remove the 150 I think its to small, and then check for the dreaded rot. Going to redo the trailer I am not sure what they did with this pictures to come .

I think Stratos quit using wood in the mid to late 90's,......

I think yours is rated for a 225 hp,.....

That would make a great fishing boat!!

Thanks teamster it's rated for 300hp
Thanks Kc
Well wood there are 4 small impact cracks in the hull good news is I can get to both side without any damage to boat. I will have to rewire it, also it came with that 150hp johnson that I feel is to small. I have not drilled any holes yet, floor seems solid I have to take off the hard top and windshield to get it in the garage.

A 300hp,.........Very cool,...............

That makes it the Bluewater model of the 2250,............

Was it a government owned boat???,...............Looks like park ranger green,.........

If it's rated for a 300 that's what I would want on it,....

Make for a awesome Erie rig,.........

image_278167.jpg image_278168.jpg PB100009_zps2176b9d4.jpg image_278169.jpg I believe I can unscrew this area and remove it to expose the transom. I may have to loosen the cap but if I do indeed need to replace the transom this will make it easier

Commercially used boats instantly become that much cooler ;)

Overall I'd say she appears to be in pretty good shape. You'll know more as you investigate more. Keep us posted and we'll be there as needed! I really like the look of her!!!

So I measured my tranom from the top (where the motor hangs on ) to the bottom of boat it measures 28" Should I be looking for a 25" or 30" motor
