I bought the Stratos a few weeks ago with a 70 hp Yamaha. I am still breaking it in, but looks like it will do close to 40 mph. The storage is great and unlike some some posts I have seen, you can store 2 7 foot rods in the locker in the center section. This is my first bass boat and I am still enthused.
A few other observations, you will have to buy a spare tire and carrier, the Lowrance depthfinder that comes with the boat is a bit cheesy, but I got a deal at the local BPS on an Eagle 480 for $159 that was a heck of an upgrade that worked with the existing transducer and temp gauge. I am installing the Lowrance on the bow.
