Nice ride!!

I am stuck in a 1989 Stratos 201 pro with a 200 Johnson.

I have one kid in EIU and one at the U of I in Champaign......

One of these days though!!! I will get to upgrade!!!!

Nice boat!

You are way a head of me. Mine is an old, fully rebuilt by me, basstracker with a 28 hp Johnson.

It has been a great boat and has been all over the country fishing with me. Great to trailer and cheap to run. But it is not pretty at all :)

I think my electronics are worth more than the boat.

I will admit I dream about a new boat all the time....

thanks guys, but nothing wrong with ya'lls boats at all. i was just blessed enough to get a deal on that one. i had a 1979 16ft procraft with a merc 80 horse that i bought for $400 and used it for years. loved that thing. so i feel lucky i got one like this one. i just hope it will catch fish like my old ones did! ;)

Sweet boat man. I will have to work on the fish slime in the back if you want to for on the front.. :D

I will find some pictures on mine at home tonight.

Old duck/fishing boat, we added a deck to the front for the bow mount trolling motor and bass fishing seat, overall pretty comfortable and I don't have to worry about scratches, etc. That is the "glass half full" view.

i fish out of a 2004 tr21 Triton. Whrizob I think I save seen you out before. back in December I believe I locked through to the river right behind you when it was blowin its butt of on the main lake

I fish a trolling machine...26 ft Lund Genmar

When I fish big water it is out of a 1996 Sprint 262

If you see the Sprint on the water stop and give me a shout. I have had it since new and of the very few Sprint owners I met around here never seen another with my color scheme.

Love the fishing snowman! I will definitely recognize that if I see it on the water.

yeah, were you fishing with you a younger boy? you were in that white triton. thats the day i got on those small mouth after sauger fishing!

o its the o sprint! ive put a few fish in that boat my self! remember that big gar i caught on the river that year with that jig? you didnt want it in that boat! lol!

Astro 201FS with a 200 Merc. With three kids and a wife that all like to fish a bass boat doesn't work out too well. Never could get comfortable running down the lake with little kids perched on the front deck like hood ornaments.

I still don't want those slimey things in my boat. :D

yeah my fishing with my son who was here for Xmas break

Sweet boat Buccaneer! Looks in perfect shape.

yeah i remember talkinng to you!

yeah buc, great looking boat! how you like yours? i love mine!

buc, you realize you teasing us with all that pretty green grass and sun shinning! :D

Whiz - Old picture, must have been spring time! Love the boat. In my opinion the Stratos 285 is the best boat ever in the 18-19' class. Great ride, smooth and quick. The Johnny 150 Carb is a great motor, but she likes fuel. Wish I had the 285 Magnum, I would like to have a 175 on that boat. The hull is exactly the same between the two, however the "Magnum" package was rated for the 175 and came standard with a hot foot.
Jim & Whiz - To keep that treasured bass boat looking great, use Bass Boat Saver (www.bassboatsaver.com). You can mail order or buy it at C&O Marine in Gallatin. I do a good Meguiar's Flagship Marine paste wax application in the spring and then BBS once or twice a week with a microfiber cloth after wipe downs.

That is a good tip on the wipe downs Buc. I am definitely going to check it out for my boat this year.

I have a 2000 ProCraft w/a 50hp Merc. If you've ever seen the blue & white one that Bill Dance fishes out of on some of his shows, it's identical, except smaller. :)
