top_cop_35 Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Looking for anyone that can give me any info on speed and handling of the Stratos 285proxl 18 1/2 foot bass boat with a 150 yahama v max. would like to know top end speed. Thanks Quote
Detroit3Pistons Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Congratulations on the new boat. ;D Quote
ernel Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 My t/x parner is running around 60-63 with a full t/x load and myself on board. He is using a 4 blade 24 pitch prop. He has a 150 merc is the only difference. Quote
joe_schmoe Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 I had a 285 Pro Elite with Dual Console and a Johnson 175 Ficht running a 4 blade 24" pitch prop. With a full tank of gas, tourney load and myself at 290 and my partner at 190 we got 60 to 61 MPH with my GPS consistently. The boat handled like a dream rough water was not a problem for this boat and gliding I can't explain how well this boat glided once you got off the gas!!! It would go for ever just gliding through the water Hope this helps!!! Quote
Username Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 we had a 285 pro elite, 175 johnson and with 2 people and t load we would hit 70 but that was with a 6" jackplate, and a 25" renegade 4 blade prop. I would imagine your boat would hit 68 max. With T load around 65 Quote
BassChaser57 Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 I just bought one also and it hit 70mph. I love it and hope you will also. Congrats Quote
