For born competitors, being top dog has nothing to do with status or ego. It’s the flat-out adrenaline rush of bucking trends, beating odds and taking on all comers. They’re on fire to be the best. It’s unquenchable and it makes them unbeatable. They make their own choices, believe imitation is cowardice and copy no one. These guys have the skills and the guts to always step up. THIS IS THE BOAT THEY STEP UP TO.

Alan Stinson racing hulls have been shattering rules and records for 40 years. His drive and innovations have long since made him a legend. Most men would be satisfied. He is not. Year after year, he finds new ways to push Stratos performance a little higher: faster, smoother riding, better in rough water, flatter turning. After four decades of testing, finessing, occasional breakthroughs and constant refinement, he's still not satisfied – but he's the first to say the 2011 boats are the best ever. There's a high-performance model for every type of fisherman from bass competitor to multi-species angler to the fish-and-ski watersports fan. Every boat brings a new level of satisfaction to any person who won't settle for second best. "You never reach perfection", as Alan Stinson says, "but we're getting awful close to it".
