Man it's a sweet ride but it ain't the stratos. That stratos rides like a cadilac, and had a great top end. The bullet is nice but everytime I'm in it I wanna run wide open so I'm worn out when it's time to fish LOL. I had thought about selling the motor but in all honesty this 225 pro xs is the real deal. It's great on gas, cranks with ease and has a real nice midrange. If I can finda gearcase (sportmaster) I'm gonna keep it, but if not it will be leaving for a 250.
