2015 Sterling?200?XS ? High?Performance Flats Fishing Boat

20? flats/bay boat built for speed and shallow-water fishing ? tournament ready, stable, and powerful.

This 2015 Sterling 200?XS is a purpose-built flats and bay fishing machine that blends fishability, performance, and rugged durability. At a clean 20-foot length, it?s compact enough to trailer easily but still offers a wide, stable platform (8??2? beam) that inspires confidence when casting or poling. The hull features a high-speed flat pad with wide lifting strakes and concave outer chines, allowing it to accelerate quickly and stay planted while running.
Powered by a robust outboard 200?HP Yamaha VMAX SHO this boat delivers serious performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Storage is well thought out, with compartments for anchor gear, a cast net box (with automatic pump), dry storage, and a front storage box. For anglers, there?s a 15-gallon console bait well plus a generous 35-gallon release well to handle live catch.

The console is built to support a 12? multi-function display, and comes with stainless grab handles, push?button switch panels, and raw-water washdown. Angler-friendly extras include integrated rod holders, a poling platform, and a deluxe seating setup. For power users, many of these boats have been upgraded with items like power poles, jack plates, a trolling motor, or upgraded electronics.

Whether you?re running skinny water, chasing permit, or just want a fast and nimble fishing rig, this Sterling 200 XS is a top-tier choice.
