Thread: Show us your Boat

Now were talking! These are fishing machines that crappie fear

slabsntaters, my uncle probably had something to so with that boat, he worked at Stratus for years in customer service, and then he also ran the owners bass tourney circut. Then when they were going thru the tough times a few years ago, they let him go. Great looking boat.

Thanks, I am kinda proud of it, it is in mint condition, I bought it off of a individual that really pampered it and took good care of it, It is a 2003 modle that had not been used hardly at all, it had super low hours and saw more starage time than run time, it is a new 2003 model that I bought for song, I got a really good deal on it considering what the boat is and the fact that it is number 64 of 100 made. Al stinson is a race boat driver from way back and his designs are second to none. This was a al stinson custom design and a limited series boat, ment to be a collectors boat. They were sold with individual purchaser name plates on them for the original purchasers. They have a series of consecutive serial numbers for all 100 made. I bought it for two reasons, 1 is because it was a nearly new 2003 model and 2 because I like stratos and al stinsons hull designs. They will never be the same now that ranger has a hand in stratos boats. The new stratos elite series boats are champion boats with stratos stickers.

It's a duck boat first but I love looking at pics of boats so here ya go......

Thats a nice boat. How is that cmc trim holding up for ya?

Best money Iv ever spent! Mine isn't trim but just a kick up bracket. It allows the motor to pop up freely when I hit something underwater. The motor it's self has tilt and trim on it.

Billy, I had these on a while back showing someone the slide brackets, but here is my river boat. Tracker Grizzly 1654, with Eagle 480 on console, and Lowrance HDS 5 on bow. Replaced the MG 46 with Varimax MG 55, and added swivel seats in rear.

I have often wondered if there was any performance benifits to a jack plate or setback plate on a jon boat. Did you notice a performance enhancement when you installed the plate.
