1989 Stratos 201 Pro dual console (20ft 3 in), 1989 Evinrude 200XP w/SS prop, 67 lb 24v Motorguide TM.

The good: Re-carpeted and clearcoated by onemorecast from this board (nice carpet job, not as good on the clearcoat), bucket seats, brake clusters/backing plates, surge brake actuator, new tires on single axle trailer, keel guard, hot foot, fuel pump (VRO is bypassed, so fuel mix is manual), bilge pump, 2 Everstart TM batts, 1 Everstart starting batt. Everything listed is withing the last 2 years. The hull and floor is completely solid with a few fishing scratches and dings.

The Bad: Big motor although still running is bound to be getting low on compression and should be rebuilt. It's also missing a little at top speed. It's only running 5000rpm instead of 5500. Don't know what the problem is there, but don't think it's serious. Have to add trim fluid every couple of months, trim unit needs resealing. Lower unit needs a clutch dog. Works fine, but have to push the shifter all the way forward or it bumps in and out of gear at idle speed. Cable that opens and closes the livewell broke at the back of the handle, and the well is stuck closed. Someone recently stole the spare trailer tire.

All-in-all a pretty good old sled that rides and fishes like a Caddilac. I'll take $2500 cash firm as is. Sorry not interested in trades.

If you want it, make sure you have the money and let me know quick, I'm on the verge of trading her in.
