Picked Up ew (too me) Boat Today
 

2005 Stratos 200 Pro XL with a Yamaha Vmax 225. After paying for the boat at 9am this morning I took it to JPP (did not realize that to had to now pay to launch) for 2 hours of testing. Everything worked as I was told so just took a joy ride...then the rain came as I was loading up.

From 1995 to 2003 I fished mostly OH & JPP 2-3 days a week and really enjoyed the hunt for LM & SM. Plans are now to again wear it out and look forward to being part of this locale forum.

If someone will explain how to post pics I will get some uploaded of the boat.

Handle is jprism (old company name) but real name is Jim.

Welcome to the forum! When you post a message scroll down and click manage attachments and find picture then to the right click upload, then close the manage page out and complete your post. Hope that makes sense.

Elm Hill public access...use to be free...was closed last winter no improvements just no longer free!

Thanks I will give that a try

Yeah Elm Hill marina Owns the area Kind of a rip , Use Photo bucket to host yer pics and they will be there for 10's of years!

Damn the pics, congrats on the boat. I have owned em all...Evinrude, Johnson, Mercury and Mariner. This 200 Yamaha I have now, is the best I have ever owned. It starts and runs each and every time, sips fuel, and performs like a 200 ought to.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on new boat.

Regards

Finally maybe a pic?

Welcome to the forum Jim. That boat is a beauty.
I think you may find yourself riding as much as fishing with a beauty like that.

That is pretty, welcome aboard.

Nice boat

Definitely a nice boat. Enjoy. :)

Thank you all I will enjoy sharing my trips and learning from you a few tricks.

Nice looking boat. Congratulations.

Sweet Stratos Jim. You'll have some fun with that.

Elm Hill public use area is now $5.00 for 24 hours and at Elm Hill Marina you have to be a member to launch...no public use. Back in early 2000 I use to launch there all the time for free. Now for $5.00 you get the same...and no bathroom.
