NEW FOR 2012: STRATOS 326 XF
Driven to dominate big waters, the
Stratos 326 XF brings quality, performance and style that aluminum boats can’t
touch
FLIPPIN, Ark. – Serious anglers across the country rely on
Stratos Boats to give them the performance advantages it takes to consistently
deliver big fish and even bigger tournament wins. In the world of hardcore
angling where bigger is often better, Stratos rounds out its lineup of
multispecies boats with the all-new 326 XF. Delivering the size and performance
to tackle big waters, the beefy 326XF is ideal for anglers in search of giant
walleye, trophy pike and monster musky.
Measuring 20 feet, 5 inches,
the Stratos 326 XF is rated for 225 horsepower and available with a host of
precision-matched, factory-rigged outboards. Built around a sophisticated hull
design that provides plenty of hole shot, top-end speed and ultra-responsive
handling for navigating rough waters, the 326 XF also benefits from an intuitive
layout, which places the battery compartment and 50-gallon fuel tank in line
with the keel at midship, resulting in a smoother, drier ride and a more stable
fishing surface.
Honeycombed with storage throughout and equipped with
fishing features any multispecies angler would want, the 326 XF delivers a
walk-through windshield design, snap-in carpet, three custom-fitted folding
seats; integrated drink holders, insulated cooler and lockable storage
compartments (port and starboard). At the helm, the 326 XF console provides room
to back-mount extra large electronics, while also providing digital,
multi-function gauges. Loaded with standard equipment, the 326 XF comes factory
equipped with a Humminbird 728 graph, Minn Kota 80lb, 24V trolling motor and 50
amp breaker as well as hydraulic steering and flush-mounted remote throttle
control.
Keeping in mind the specific needs of multispecies anglers,
the 326 XF also boasts an oversized livewell at the stern, a 5 ½ gallon aerated
baitwell on the spacious front deck, complete with a recessed trolling motor
foot pedal option. Under the front deck, the center rod storage can easily
accommodate a dozen rods up to 8’ in length. In addition, the 326XF includes the
ability to add rail systems for downriggers and rod holders for precise bait
presentation.
Once the bite slows down, the 326 XF also gives owners
an ideal rig for watersports and other on-water recreation. Whether it’s an
evening cruise under the available bimini top or pulling friends and family
across the wake using the optional ski tow, the 326 XF offers an exceptional
level of versatility. With rear flip-up jump seats plus pedestal seats for
three passengers, there is plenty of room for multiple people and
gear.
The Stratos 326 XF comes paired with a custom-built, tandem-axle
trailer. Designed to perfectly match the boat, Stratos trailers are equipped
with a super-tough polyurea “Road Armor” protective finish, submersible, LED
lights and individually balanced, aluminum wheels. The trailers also feature
swing jacks that retract flush to the frame and locking, swing-away tongues.
With stainless steel fenders and matching spare, the trailer delivers peace of
mind when towing and serves as the perfect complement to the striking good looks
of the new Stratos 326 XF.
