you buy the best, 957 Northstar.agood Radar agood fishfinder in color that
you can see in daylight.
agood icom 402.
or singleside band.
big compass.

keep all electronics separate not together so you dont lose both.


put the northstar and the color fishfinder and radar, a big compass in front of the steering wheel. not up in a box overhead.!!!!!

Thanks for the replys. and thanks for the tip about not getting all the electronics together I was realy thinking about that. As for research on the boat it will be comming with a yamaha 200 hp. th four stroke, the contruction of the boat has all stainless and throuhg hull contruction, nuts and bolts not just into the glass.
well that boat is brand new with hard top and canvas and trailer and all the electronics the total bill is around 55 thoulsand, there are no othere striper dealers in the area but the price seems right.

JBMUNROE,

What size are you going with?

 

[620452]

I am going with the 2600 wa wich is 25' 6"

I have a 2601 Striper W/A. But I have the 5.7 Volvo penta I/O. I've had no problems with the boat and would definitely recommend it. It handles just like the more expensive boats. I've criven a Sea Sport and a Sea Pro. And I think the Striper was better than both. IM not talking Grady White here but for the money a good buy.

It is the bracket version. The dealer recomended the 225. Its about another grand or so. I realy dont want it to be underpowerred, and at this point in the game the extra grand or so is worth it. Thank you guys verry much for all the verry helpfull info, and not offended one bit.

how does the vessel handle in rough seas, when I had the sea test It was a dream on the water no wind and the bay was like glass. Not the wheather i hoped for, for the sea test.
