Im looking at 4 different brands of boats and was wondering you opinions good or bad. I have rode in all 4 many different times in tournaments and from friends. I have my own opinion on each and now want a little more from other fisherman. Thanks. Stratos Skeeter Ranger Champion, will be newer than 98' and at least 18 foot.

You can't go wrong with Skeeter, Ranger or Champion. I'm not familiar with Stratos. Just ask around the weigh in. Most guys have owned more than one brand. My dad had Rangers for many years. His last boat was a Champion. Both were always top shelf. From what I can tell on the lakes, and at tournaments, Skeeter is just as good, and has a cool logo.
