[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 5588239, member: 967"] I bought my first boat new in 1989. It was small Stratos 256V with a 50 HP. It was bullet proof. Had it for 20 years with no problems. Then I got the itch to buy a boat with a much larger engine. Sold my little 256V to Tophat on here in 2010 or so. The second boat was a used Stratos 285 PE with a Johnson FICHT 175. BIGGEST mistake I ever made on a boat. That FICHT was a piece of crap. Finally got it straightened out and running right, sold it. 3rd boat was a used 1999 Stratos PRO Elite Dual Console. This one had a Mercury 200 on it and it ran decent but had issues too. After a couple of engine rebuilds I sold it. I went boatless for 5 years. The thought of owning another money pit kept me off the water for years. Then I got the fever last summer and ordered a brand new, full warranty Xpress X-19 with a brand new full warranty, Yamaha 200 HP 4 stroke. If this damn boat tears up, blows a motor, or gives me any problem what so ever I am out of the boat owning business. [/QUOTE]
