Congrats. INOX the crap out of all the metal and you will be fine, everytime you use it. Whats on the back?

If you have any questions just PM me I have the same setup but next size up with a Al trailer.

Cheers
Chris

Just go fishing mate.
Just treat it like any other boat. Give it a good wash when you come home from fishing, like all boats something will wear out or break eventually.
I've had my Stratos for 5 years and only have had some minor wire corrosion issues, they were all just an easy fix. I'm sure any other boat has them aswell.
Stratos' are great boats, enjoy it.

Hey mate nice purchase.
I have a 275 stratos just a little bit bigger than our rig.

All stratos boat trailer are a fresh water built trailer so make sure you give it a thorough wash down after each use.
I spend more time washing the trailer down that I do the boat.
Be carefull not to pick up a rod from the deck when it has slipped under the mooring cleats or you will snap it already done this 1.5 times.
That is it really I have had no trouble with mine at all.

The Stratos only has a Mercury 60hp four stoke on it. I believe the 176XT is only rated up to 75ph.
Did not really want anything bigger as my 17 year old son will be using it as well.

Mate will be fast enough, economical and safe.
Great boat for the shallow hard to reach places that the big boat fear to tread.
