HOW MUCH ⬇️
You paid 4500 for it
5000
Id guess 8000, boat prices are nutz
3000
7500
Her family pays for the wedding. You buy the boats, just saying
Just like it should be😂
Facts ...brides parents pay for the wedding
Guessing listing for 6500 but took it home for 5750.
Keep up the good work.
Getting ready to take on a project or two like this with my brother-in-law.
my guess for the boat is $6200. can’t want to see you bring this boat back to life! I loved the bass cat and am very excited to see another boat restoration series!!
Two things on the motor. If it’s sat for a while check the tell tale for blockage. That is usually the first issue. Regardless the impeller needs to be replaced if it’s sat for a couple of years. Based on my manuals compression should be around 90-110 on the optimax. Don’t be surprised if a good systems cleaning and new water pump kit doesn’t do wonders for that outboard. Also it’s best to test compression after your motor has ran for about 5-10 minutes so that it’s warm and everything (piston rings etc) is sealing well. Learned that the hard way and almost sold someone a rebuild when I was starting out.
That boat as is in Arkansas goes for 8,500 all day long. So I’ll make that my guess even though you’re farther north.
You’re gonna love that stratos. I drove 8 hours to pick up my stratos project. Have loved it since
Run a stiff wire or weed wacker string up through the pee hose. Sometimes bees or bugs build nests in there and all you need to do is clear it out. Great looking rig. Good luck 👍
Yes definitely try this!!!
Dirt daubers are a menace with this type of stuff
Keep doing this. Such an awesome series.
I got a 2001 19 ft vip stealth and a high compression yamaha 150 vmax. Based on your list and what most say regarding Optimax rebuilding 3300 is a price I may bite on that boat in this condition considering I gave 5750 for mine and just added used electronics and 70lb minkota
Great idea, crowdsourcing your Marketplace purchases 👍
C&O Marine in TN is the go to for Stratos parts.
C&O is a great source for parts/info for any Stratos. Have spent several $ with them and every penny has been worth it!
That’s a transducer wire.
Worse case if the motor is shot, put the 150 from the BassCat on it until money allows an upgrade. With the right prop, it would get on step just not have a great top end.
Just a heads up I got a 225 merc abs those size motors don’t always pee water with muffs hooked up. They usually need more pressure so if you can just put the motor in the water I’d bet it would pee
we found a 95' stratos with no sun fading and everything on it is original no scratches or anything motor runs well and got it for $5k
its possible the engine has a decompression system for starting which will give u a low compression unles u tried testing with it running as it sounds pretty healthy
The Price is Right has taught me to bid $1. $1, Bob.
I’m going to say $6,500. It looks like a good rebuild. Can’t wait to watch your journey.
You're gonna love this boat Stratos are amazing rigs
I'll say $ 6,800. Can't wait to see this series...always a fan!
that boat will fly. i have a 70 evinrude TM off of my old stratos. great TM
My guess is $3,000. Stratos made some nice boats. Looking forward to the rebuild.
3500.00 but galfriends behind closed door attitude, PRICELESS
unplug your ecm and compression test again. It's unlikely, but, possible that you have an air injector that is stuck.
Yeah i have 135 hp optmax and you definitely need to have patience. Im still trying to figure out why mine is alarming. But depending on what you have to do with that id say 5850 i feel like thats low though.
With a running good compression motor and new seats plus a good detail that boat will sell $12-15k easy.
Pretty nice looking boat. Looking forward to this series. in Canada they probably would’ve sold it for 20k but I think it would be $6750
3500 can’t wait to see it finished💯🤙
Nice boat, Looking forward for the next series of videos, I think you got it for $3,850.00,
you definitely should be doing this!!!!
I'm gonna go higher at $8250. Good hull, salvageable motor and the deck and gear will be quick work. Nice!
$5500, I've been looking into a Stratos boat myself, they are awesome boats!
Excellent choice in boats…you were already eyeing it when I suggested Stratos 😂
Another project...really like your videos.....I'm going to guess $5800.....good luck!!!
$3800 IS MY BID ON WHAT YOU PAID!! NEW SUB, CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU TRANSFORM THE BOAT.
bro i have been watching you since almost day one, if you dont mind me asking, what do you do for work? I also have an old bass boat i am currently building/restoring and your videos are motivating me to start a series of my own!!
Thank you For supporting me! I try to make ends meet anyway I can. Right now I help a buddy at a car shop on the side and cross my fingers I get a TH-cam check every month lol. Ramen noodle life style rn
I have a stratos myself and I can tell you they are some amazing boats to have very fast my guess on price would be $5800
I'll say 4900 for the boat, can't wait to see what you do to it
Well judging by the fact the engine is pretty much gone. I would assume in the 6400 dollar range
My guess is $6,500. Looks good also. The only thing that sucks, is the motor.
If your looking for an upgrade on trolling motor? I have a 112 lb. 36 volt minn kota Fortrex that I upgraded on new Garman. $300 and you ship it.
Lol - I have 3 boat projects at the moment. 😆
Location also season and cosmic will say $8,250.00
I’m gonna say you got a steal at $3000
Depending on how low the compression is it usually beast to rebuild the optimax.. especially if it has a lot.of hours
It may not be that low. If he’s going off of the specs for a Johnson the specs are quite a bit lower for an optimax than what is in spec compression on an OMC outboard.
Mine is supposed to be around 115 my father in laws optimax is suppose to be between 90-100 based on my service manual guides. The biggest thing is do all the cylinders match within 10%
The hull and front part of the boat look great but that low compression in the engine, id say probably $8200
$4750 is my guess looks good keep the videos up
I'm gonna guess 5500 don't know but it be a good build what's scary is the low compression part.
$4100, good luck!
@TightlineTV would like to know how you conducted the compression test? Test should be performed in the following manner.
When performing compression tests, it's imperitive that the tests be done with:
-A fully charged and PROPERLY RATED cranking battery
-Engine warmed up to Operating Temperature
-Kill switch OFF
-All Spark Plugs Removed
-Plug wires on Spark Tester (or grounded with jumper leads- an added precaution)
-Throttle plate at the WOT Position
-Water supplied to the engine while cranking!
Insert compression tester into #1 spark plug opening, and crank the engine until the reading no longer rises. Record reading. DO NOT spin/crank for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
Repeat above step for each cylinder. (credit for above - EuropeanAM from bassboat central)
Compression specs: 90-110 psi, MAXIMUM variance of 15 psi between highest and lowest cylinders. My guess -- $6250
3500 is my guess can't wait to see it finished
my guess is. $5000, you will be sticking a bunch of $ into it. Good luck
2 years of setting, dry cylinders might be better after you run a while. And water pump needs replaced. No biggies. $2,500.00 cost
$5000. Here we go again. This is gonna be awesome
Your next rebuild project is gonna be the trust between you and your fiancé… lovin the videos though lol
I would recommend to shove a peice of weed eater string up the pisser it’s common for something to build a nest in there me and my dad had to do that with ours and it worked just might save yoy some money and time.
C&o marine in Tennessee for seats and parts for your old Stratos
Check reed valves on compression before you get to deep
How much for the basscat
4300! Awesome boat!
$7400. Lot of work to do but beauty nonetheless!
$7500 also try running it rings could just be stuck
1200 $. For that Sweet Boat
$4,500. Looking forward to the build!
$7500 nice rig looks clean
$4700 is the guess. Hoping it was a big budget steal
Ha, same here!!

Dude moneypit
You got a wedding to pay for in hooterville.
Good project for you tho
$5550 Can’t wait for the build to start
$4500 looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
$6000. Looking forward to this series
$4500 Love the vids
$4000 cash should have been more but the low compression test saved you at least a grand. Maybe more.
So after hearing about the new boat, are you still getting married 😂
I’ll re visit this when the boats finished 😂
Hull is worth $4K, motor is worth $1K, I’m going $5K. Good luck fixing your shitbox into a polished turd lol. Why do we love projects so much? Looking forward to this build. Especially the machinist working on the powerhead!
$4500 nice project boat
The impeller hose might be gloged or the Impeller junk
$5,001, Bob!
Nice project I’m guessing $4500
ditch the optimax and put a new four stroke, then you will have a good boat.
Don’t you love it when your wife scare you more than spending money 😂
10,500
5,000 cash, I just bought a 295 pro elite for a steal myself
7,000 that’s my guess
4,500$ is what I’d risk on that boat.
I’m gonna guess at that $4,000
Good find I say 2500
Hasn’t ran in 2 years maybe just stuck rings
I would think 4000
7,500
$5,000 ....Nice looking sled
Can’t wait for the work to begin. $6k
Stratos >>>..... wish they still made em
$4300 Is my guess on what you paid for it
