Join Jared from Stryker Boats as he puts the new Stryker Pro 420 with Tohatsu 40 Jet outboard to the test at Cultus Lake. This comprehensive review covers everything you need to know about the boat's performance, handling, and features.
We start by examining the robust 40hp 4-stroke jet engine, known for its exceptional power and efficiency. Jared walks you through the custom setup, including a strategically placed 12-gallon fuel tank in the bow, designed to optimize balance for solo trips, especially during fly fishing adventures on local rivers.
Watch as we demonstrate the boat's impressive speed, reaching up to 39 mph with ease, even with two people on board, camera gear, and additional equipment. You'll also see the smooth handling at various speeds, with Jared keeping it at three-quarters throttle to break in the motor gently. Despite the reduced throttle, the Stryker Pro 420 showcases its quick acceleration, stability on flat waters, and superior load-carrying capacity, making it ideal for diverse boating conditions.
This video also highlights the practical features such as the battery placement and bilge pump installation, ensuring the boat is well-equipped for safety and long-term durability. The handling is crisp, responsive, and snappy, giving you confidence whether you're cruising or navigating tight spots.
Perfect for boating enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy solo expeditions and fly fishing, the Stryker Pro 420 is built to deliver both power and precision. Dive into this video for an in-depth look at how Stryker Boats are engineered for performance, safety, and adventure.
