Gentlemen, I bought a 1987 Stratos boat but there are a few models such as F&B, 179V etc.
I would like to pin point which one it is and being from 187 companies have been no help.
Vessel title says 1987 STRATOS 18' type open motorboat, Hull fiberglass, that's all.

Can anyone help on this? Of course I have Hull id as well
Thank you
 
Most likely a 181pro as Earl just started the 18 foot series in 1986. Got one setting in my field if ya need a picture

This is mine. Also to open & closed live wells are stuck closed. Tanks are riveted in not like newer models that unscrew.. Any ideas?

The valves for livewells are in the rear and activated by cable either under drivers seat or next to engine control

Thanks. I have cable controls next to seat but had no idea where they went. They are stuck solid and wont move. When you say rear is that at bottom of boat where the two holes are next to drain plug i assume. Those can probably be seen inside on back. I thought they might have gone up yo each tank. Thank you again.
