Yes that's right sports fans Admiral Approved!
So the last 4 years fishing out of our SS 160 has been good, and she cruises up and down our lake fine. We have decided to get a little bigger boat ( 2 foot itis ) and are wanting to stay with the fish and ski theme, because we really do like to fish and tube/ski.
If the weather holds we are going to be doing a lake test on this Stratos 290SF this Saturday. The seller is about 2 and a half hours away, but has agreed to meet us at a lake in Winston Salem to let us go over her with a fine tooth comb.
She is a 1993 Stratos 290SF with the original Johnson 200 GT. The seller claims he and his dad purchased the boat from the original owner in 2010 and it has been kept covered when not on the water. The pics look good. We shall see.
I'll keep you all posted.
Oh and for the record this would make 4 boats. 2 not running and the SS. If we buy her we may be thinning the heard. I placed our other Stratos on Craigslist with the caption * Not Water Ready * just to see if we get any takers.
Here are some pics of the one we are going to check out this weekend.
