Stratos 386XF or 486SF

[masterge]

Anyone have any infor on the Stratos 386XF or 486SF? I was looking at them at Cabellas in Glendale, AZ yesterday and they both look like pretty nice boats. I would probably buy with a 115 or 150 Evinrude E-Tec. I plan to use mostly in the Lakes and Reservoirs in Arizona with the occasional trip to Southern Nevada, Utah.

I'm looking for info on price, quality and reliability.

We just bought a new 2009 Stratos 386XF. 150 Yamaha 4-strk main and 9.9 Yamaha 4-strk kicker. We chose this boat over a Ranger 1850 Reata and are very satisfied. We fish Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota so the boat needed to handle big and small lakes/reservoirs at 1,000 to 9,000 ft elevations and be able to handle well in windy conditions.
