Hey guys,

Hope everyone's new year is going well. Up for sale is my 2005 Stratos 285 pro XL. I have had the boat for 2 years, I'm the 2nd owner and I purchased it from Marine Specialty back in August of '08. Equipped with a 150 Yamaha engine, this baby tops out at about 62MPH. Great tournament ready fishing boat because I put lid pistons on to both rod lockers so they would stay open and I put a rod holder in one of the lockers to more efficiently store your rods. This hole shot on this boat is phonomenal, and I believe it's because it has the perfect setup with the current prop that is on there, and well as the adjustable jack plate. Boat also has hydraulic steering as well as blinker-style trim on the steering wheel. The stock electronics are still on the boat, but I added a Lowrance LCX 27c up front, as well as a Lowrance HDS 8 with map insight on the back with structure scan. Both pieces are networked together as well, all work done at Franklin Marine. I also had to put a new 2 bank charger on there because the stock one sucked, i think it's a promariner. Lower end was replaced this last year as well, as it went out on me. And i bet the boat hasn't been used 5 times since being replaced. Boat is currently at Franklin Marine just getting serviced and ready to sell. Feel free to call or text with any questions! 423-488-0780. I am asking $14,000! Thanks for looking, hope to see you guys out on the water!

Thanks for the compliment shad. She sure does look pretty on the water too. She's looking for a good home, everyone knows it's about time for the spawn and were all getting tax return money back. Be a great new addition to anyone's fishing addiction with the warm weather approaching!

I want to say that I have went to look at this boat thinking it was orange from the picture but it is very RED and is a Pretty color.

Thanks for the clarification, and yes... It is a nice DEEP sparkly red! I couldn't possibly bring myself to own anything orange being an Alabama fan! Roll tide boys! But on a more serious note, it is a gorgeous boat! I promise you will have no regrets on the color!

You'll have to excuse my iPhone, it doesn't take the best pictures. But for anyone seriously intrested, I'll pull out the SLR and take some real good shots to hopefully clear up any confusion!

...be interested in selling that HDS8?

Not at this time, thanks for the interest though. I have already had a couple people contact me about it, but I am not looking to part out at this time. If someone looks at buying the boat without the electronics, then I will be listing the electronics for sale.

I've been talking with Jerome and Franklin Marine and he has told me a few people have stopped by to look at the boat, he told me a lot have come in from the craigslist ad they have found. Please don't let the boat be sold this way, I would much rather see it going to a forum member. Jerome is finishing some repairs on the trolling motor and she will be back to her home. Don't hesitate to ask me to come see it, the colors on the boat absolutely SPARKLE! Hope she finds a new home soon, I'm getting married in May so she's got to go...

I went to go check out this boat a couple of weeks ago. She's a real beaut. Very well taken care of. Its tourney ready. And one heck of a deal. Someone is gonna get one heck of a boat. If it was a 295 instead of a 285 I would have bought it that day. I kept seeing it here on the forum and I just had to check it out. CLEAN!!!!!!!! Its about that time of year. Someones gonna be glad they bought this.

Thanks for the post doodle, enjoyed meeting you. Wish we could have struck a deal, but I'd rather you buy what you want to buy and be happy with it. Good luck with your endeavor man, I appreciate the kind words...
