My wifes cousin has an 05 198 dual console with an 05 225 Optimax with 60 hrs on it...yes 60, he believed in not running the lake to get to his spot, would trailer it instead. Hes giving what i think is a great deal at 19...but since stratos bought them, are parts hard to come by now? Thanks for the input!

parts for livewells, guages etc will be easy. a spare console, possibly lids actual boat parts will not be available since they have stopped production of that particular hull.

anything that could break can be replaced if its not fiberglass.
if that 19 means 19,000 then you should jump on that.

At $19K, I would buy it and worry about parts later.

Thanks for the input guys...19000 is the "family" discount

Buy it. You won't regret it. It's hard to beat a Champ.

Would you adopt me?

Buy it you will like it.Have same boat but single console, and a yamaha.

Paid 23 for mine with 111 hrs.& thought that was a good deal.

I jump on it NOW before its gone. As far as parts go, I get all mine at C and O Marine in Tenn. very nice people to deal with

I just picked it up this morning after a test drive to make sure everything's working. Only issue is that was the first run in close to a year and a half, so water pump is bad. Taking it in Monday for annual maintenance and go over it. Can't wait to get back on the water!

Great price for a great boat!

You can get windshields,seats,and some decals, and most of the rest of the stuff you can use parts for other boats. I wouldn't worry about it.

I have a 94, 190sc with a 200 Opti. The only parts I've found difficult to find are the switch panels. Everything else is available with a little looking.
