Thank you so much for posting these stories David.
Its a lot of work and not everyone appreciates it like we do.
Thank you sir!I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Nice to see the "Stoker" boat name and comments on Al pop up, the good days. I will always feel his boats were underrated, mine flies with stock ETEC 225 HO power pushing it, and that's coming from a guy who's run Mercury's his entire life!

It’s definitely a nice rig/mines being a pain in the arss/it’s fixed it just needs to flow properly so I can finish tuning it/I’ll have hard time passing specboatops that’s for sure.

Saturday was Stoker day for me. I read a post asking if the boats were still being made, and dug up my old magazines.

The boats he made are great runners. One of the guys we ran around with had a 22' with twin 260s and he was often the leader.

With his help, I had a 235 crossflow run over 96 - GPS. It would have seen 100 with the right prop. I embarrassed many a Merc with that motor!
Thanks Mr Stoker!!!

Yea back in the day some say the later model cross flows were better than some loopers.
