Striper line of boats

[Landlocked]

Hi everyone,

Looking to get back into rigging, trolling on bigger water....just curious on what everyone's opinion is of the Striper line of boats. I'm looking around the 20-21ft. range for various reasons and thought they looked appealing. Any year or history to avoid or any comparables? New is out of the price range so thought a good used might do. Thanks!

They handle the water very well and are great for fishing.

Stripers are good boats for sure but check out the Nitro center-console and the Triumph also... they are the same type of boat and might be a bit less $$? Only downside to this type of boat is that you have limited space for guests to sit on the boat.

I researched the Striper boats before settling on a Starcraft Islander. Being from the states I nearly purchased one from a delaer around the Turkey Point area, I want to say Durham was the town. The 21ft. Striper/walk around cuddy model was $10,000 cheaper than one I could purchase in the states, year end close out. Only draw back is it had a Johnson FICHT outboard, which had a ton of service issues. I enojoy the Islander but would of much rather had the Striper, just could not justify the cost. I have fished with a gentlemen that owns one, very deep and seaworthy boat, the boat does have limited sitting in the cockpit area. I assume this could be resolved by adding a cooler with a seated cushin top, same as a jump seat.
