MURFREESBORO, Tennessee -- Following the enormous success of Stratos Boats' 2X Double Your Winnings contingency program in 2008, the company recently announced the renewal of the program for the 2009 calendar year. The 2X program, designed to fuel anglers? passion for fishing by doubling payouts for on-the-water success, has been strongly applauded by anglers across the country since its launch in April 2008.

Beginning with the new model year for Stratos on July 1, 2009, eligible Stratos boats will be 2008-2010 models. The 2X Double Your Winnings program makes no restrictions on individual model choice or motor pairings. With an ever-expanding list of qualified tournaments that already includes more than 274 events in 31 states and two Canadian provinces, this program allows Stratos owners to make even more money for tournament wins while being able to compete close to home.
