I'm planning to trade in the little Nitro on a new boat after this season, and I've started researching boats online. On the Stratos boats website, there are several videos of Skeet Reese talking about the Champion Elite series boats. In one of the videos, he mentions the Skeet Reese Package, but he doesn't explain what it is. I'm sure it's just some upgrades to the regular package, but I can't find anything else about it. Does anyone know what he's talking about? I hope it doesn't mean the made everything yellow!

Since Stratos and Champion merged their new line of boats are Fantastic looking IMO.

I looked at one during the travel boat show over the winter and it looked like a Champion and a Stratos 201 had a baby, an expensive baby.

The lines looked great, it had ample storage, and a huge casting deck. The gauge cluster was firm and thick fiberglass, not like the Z-9s. It had a Line X coated trailer which I thought was genious. If I had 64K I would buy one...

I have a stratos and love it. Good Luck

They are pricey, but you only live once, right? Anyway, this is the one I'm looking at.

That's what I was saying in my original post. I sent an email to the dealer asking what the Skeet Reese package is, but I haven't heard back yet.

Maybe it will include those epic electronics he has on his rig. Let us know even though I won't be able to purchase a boat until after college

You seem to be doing just fine from the bank!

I have the 2011 Stratos brochure that shows the Champion Elite series and it makes no mention of a Skeet Reese package that I can find. This brochure is 51 pages and includes the options but doesn't mention any packages. If I were you I would continue to ask the dealer. Frequently these package deals are a real bargain. The Champion hulls are great boats, you will not be sorry if you pull the trigger on this boat.. Good luck with your search.........Al

The website doesn't mention it anywhere else either. If I don't get an email back from the dealer in a few days, I'll call. I don't want to bug them too much though because I really don't plan on buying a new boat until winter.

Those "Insert Pro's name here" limited edition series boats normally have some options on them that may or may not be available if you purchase a non limited edition boat. It's usually stuff you can easily live without.

The old Champ hulls are outstanding runners. Good to see the line continue on.
