93 150 Intruder "My boat is great; I highly recommend Stratos. It handles  
            Spitfire Series rough water pretty good for a boat its size. You just can't  
  go fast, but it's dry. Plus it fishes awesome, has huge  
  livewells, stores 7' rods, huge 40 gallon fuel tank but fits  
  in one stall of my 22.5 ft long garage on a slight angle.  
  Overall, very happy."
