Ranger 1880 MS or Triton Allure 206 or Stratos 386XF

Looking at getting a new boat this year. I was wondering if anyone has either of these boats or have been in one and can give me their opinion.


Ill be moving from a 16 foot Alumacraft dominator with a 75hp Honda (which will be for sale)

Thanks in advance

My cousin has a Stratos 486 sf and its a nice ride very smooth in rough water great for fishing or water skiing .

They are all basically the same boat, I would lean towards the boat with the most room, storage and options. correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Ranger makes the haul for Stratos, I have a Javellin which was bought out by Stratos and discontinued in 2002 and ranger made the hauls back then for Javellin and Stratos. Excellent wide stable boats. I'd be interested in the cost between the Ranger and Stratos, might pick up a 21ft Stratos for the price of the 1880

thanks for the info guys. Yeah actually Ranger, Stratos and triton are all owned by the same company. I will be buying the boat out of the states as I will save between 10 and 15 thousand on a new boat, so it only makes sense to do that. The prices are all pretty similar for the 18 foot boats. I don't really want to go to a 20 or 21 foot boat because I fish a lot of small back water lakes and rivers so I don't want to be too big,
