[News] NEW FOR 2011: STRATOS CHAMPION ELITE SERIES; July 16, 2010NEW FOR 2011: STRATOS CHAMPION ELITE SERIES
With the ‘soul of a
predator’ and incredible list of features, these aggressive performers are built
to devour competition.
FLIPPIN, Ark. – Whether anglers are
seeking to strengthen their competitive grip with a proven, performance-driven
hull design or looking to upgrade to an aggressive, smooth-riding and
luxuriously equipped professional bass boat, the new Stratos Champion Elite
Series boats are built to outgun and outperform just about anything on the
water.
New to the Stratos lineup for the 2011 model year, the Stratos
Champion Elite Series offers three models to suit the needs and personality of
any serious bass angler. The widely popular 210, 202 and 183 not only deliver
strong notice with the high performance setup of their hull designs but come
equipped with top-of-the-line features and accessories making it ideal for
professional (or aspiring professional) anglers who want their rig decked out
with the latest and greatest fishing-catching gear.
Measuring 20 feet,
10 inches, the Stratos 210 Champion Elite has a 50-gallon fuel capacity; it’s
rated for 300 horsepower and comes available with a host of precision-matched
outboards. Built around the venerable V-Wing hull design that sports the same
sleek, aggressive, sports car-inspired body lines that accommodate larger
plates, the boat is the rig of choice for today’s top professional anglers such
as reigning BASS Angler of the Year, Skeet Reese and BASS Elite Series star,
Mike McClelland.
“I can’t imagine fishing out of anything other than a
210. The 210 is such a phenomenal platform for someone like me who fishes for a
living and who can’t afford not to have every advantage they can get when
they’re competing,” said Reese. “I’m excited that the 210 and the other great
Stratos Champion Elite Series models will be there to help a lot of people catch
a lot of fish.”
Standard features on the Stratos 210 Champion Elite
include a Humminbird 728 with color GPS at the console, Minn Kota Max 80 24V
trolling motor with recessed foot pedal, Minn Kota 10x2 onboard charger, 5-inch
digital multifunction gauges, LED-lit storage, console and bilge area, tackle
organizer and shock-mitigating Aqua Flex bucket seats. Equipped with port- and
starboard-side rod lockers capable of holding 7-foot, 6-inch rods and
honeycombed with other lockable storage, the rig is available in single- and
dual-console configurations offering additional features like a step-up cooler,
fold-out footrests, lockable glove box (dual-console configuration only) and
integrated storage for cell phones, keys, cameras and tools.
Equipped
with the same electronics, custom-designed modular consoles and interior
amenities, the 19-foot-8-inch Stratos 202 Champion Elite is built on the same
proven hull and is rated for 225 horsepower. Featuring a 10-inch R&R manual
jackplate with integrated E Ladder, this rig is also available in single- or
dual-console configurations and features both port- and starboard-side rod
lockers capable of storing 7-foot, 6-inch rods.
Offering even more
options within the Stratos Champion Elite Series, the 183 Champion Elite
measures 18 feet, 3 inches and packs the same performance of a proven hull
design and the same wealth of electronic and comfort features as the larger
models. Rated for 175 horsepower and sporting 40 gallons of fuel capacity, the
Stratos 183 Champion Elite comes standard with a 10-inch manual jackplate with
integrated E Ladder as well as port- and starboard-side rod storage that can
hold rods up to 6-feet, 6-inches.
“You’d be hard pressed to come up with
something that the Stratos Champion Elite Series boats don’t have,” said Stratos
Brand Manager Jason Bragg. “Stratos owners want a boat that suits their
personality: aggressive, high performance and built to get the job done. These
boats have everything an angler needs to be successful on the water with an
incredible amount of top-shelf standard equipment and the unparalleled
performance of a proven hull.”
The Champion Elite Series models come
paired with a custom-built Road Armor-equipped trailer. Designed to perfectly
match the boat, the Stratos Champion Elite Series trailers are equipped with LED
lights, aluminum wheels and a COOL Hub® lubrication system as standard
equipment. Custom aligned with individually balanced wheels, the trailers
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 complement the striking good looks of the Stratos
Champion Elite Series boats.
