Rare Boat?

[The Cintas Guy]

I'm new to boating, just bought a 1989 Stratos 185 XLS runabout. I can't find any info on this boat. It's like it was never made. If anybody has any info on these or where I can find info thank you in advance. It has OMC 4.3 and outdrive. I bought the boat for $1700 with what was described as a locked up outdrive. We later found out it was a seized bearing. $175 later it was on the water. Still working bugs out of it as it sat in a barn for 4 years. Oh and this is a great boating forum you guys have here I have learned ALOT just reading. Thanks Tony

Re: Rare Boat?

It seems they offer alot of fish and fish/ski boats. Mine has no fishing provisions what so ever. The model number brings up nothing when I google it. Stratos 185 XLS.
