89 22 Stoker w/ 300 Rude
New to the list and new to larger performance boats. Being in lower SC I have always run 14' flat bottom F'glass boats with doctored 3 cylinder yammies pushing 60hp or so and have really enjoyed sliding around the local small rivers. It's nothing to run in the 40's through 2-1/2 to 3 feet of water down a river that most would call a glorified creek. But now that the liquid courage has slowed down and wisdom is gaining over sheer stupidity I have bought an 89 22' Stoker tunnel and love it. Two strokes are not a foreign language nor working on fiberglass boats. Trust me, we've had to fix too many holes from cypress knees to remember and I have turned several 40 yamahas into 55-60's.
The stoker appears to be fairly original if not almost completely original. The 300 Evinrude starts great and will turn 65-6600 with a 24 Bravo 1 prop and 2-3 people with 1/2 a load of fuel. I have hit 70.0 twice on a handheld but I'm not sure where the numbers should be. If you guys could help educate me about this setup I surely would appreciate it more than you know. The pic below was taken from another post but this is the boat I purchased. It made it's way out to SC in 2010. The only thing that has changed is the last owner didn't like the complete engine painted orange so he had the upper cowl painted white. I tried to figure out how to post one of my current pictures but obviously I'm not smart enuf!!!
Thanks in advance for anything you can add to help me along...

[B]Nice Stoker, I'm sure there's more than 70 in your setup, mine's in the 70's with a 175 ProXS. Contact racer [Alan Stoker] here on the board, and he'll get you set up!!
and welcome to S&F!![B]/B]why ask me ?

Thank you. So far we are really enjoying everything but the $2.25 a mile operating cost!!! But hey, that's the cost of having fun, huh (just don't let her figure that out)?? I've been impressed with the ride quality and performance of this boat. I'm really interested in finding out more about the operation where it pertains to performance.
Thanks again to all that are helping educate me on this thing. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Very nice rig! Give Al Stoker a call at John's Custom Marine - he'll tell you how to set up your 22 for what you're specifically looking for out of it. (714) 827-7920........or e-mail him at info@johnscustommarine.net.

I have spoken with Mr. Stoker. He was nice enough to call me back and give me a few tips and a little history of the boat. He was busy but fit in my return call which I appreciated greatly. I really hate to bother him since it has been over 24 years since he's made a profit off of this boat. Those dollars have long been spent. Between my trial and error and any information you guys kick in I'm sure I'll pick up on how to dial this thing in a little better.
Thanks again,
WJ

Mail him a check for $200.00 and tell him you're pre-paying for a setup sheet for your boat - setback, engine height and prop recommendations. Then, buy the props you need from him. What pisses guys like him off is when everybody goes to them for advice and then they go buy all the stuff elsewhere..........

No problem with that at all. I sell material in the industrial sector (pulp & paper, power gen, chemical) and get questions all the time for "application advice". Drives me nuts when I don't get the sale afterwards...

good looking stoker! it should run in the 80's easy enough...a hydraulic jack plate will make a huge difference.

Nice ride. I have always wanted a 22 Stoker. Is it a stock v8 ? What speed do you hope to get out of it ?
I have looked at nice newer 22 with a merc IO at Al's shop a few years back when I popped in. I believe he said it would run 110 mph. I think it was around 500 hp. Beautiful boat.
I wonder what one would would do with a 400+ hp outboard ?2005 TRIAD STV EURO
