Stoker 224 by Eliminator

Stoker 224 by Eliminator.

I didn’t take many pictures but here is what I’ve got for you all.

The entire Eliminator team did a great job coming together to bring this boat to life giving it a bit of traditional old school with a mix of todays new technologies.

Growing up I was always around mod vp Laveycraft 20.8 Sebrings and I love them. But Stoker was always the #1 in the category and I feel that still holds true today along with the legendary Al Stoker. When I was asked if I wanted to rig this new build I had to be part of it.

Enjoy!

Nice

I love those back to back seats on the passenger side. Very similar to the side seating that was so common though so many manufacturers.

Not too sure why the sideways seats went away.

I'm interested to see some #s. Not price but speed. I think the 22 is the hull for today's heavier outboards. I know my 20.1 wouldn't take a 500+ pounder on the back with a watermelon gear case

 

[steamin rice]

Nice looking boat!

 

[Xstream]

Nice boat I always liked the speed of my 20' SST and how it handled chop and turned. Looks like this boat is going to Canada.

 

[stokerwhore]

Love it. Needs a foot throttle, though.

 

[ChrisV]

Badass

 

[hallett21]

Beautiful!! What was the reasoning for no seat behind the driver?

 

[attitude]

Beautiful

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Super nice. I remember lusting over one of these from the Hot boat days… I think his name was Jackpunx or something. Big HP

 

[Xstream]

The boat is rigged right steer most Stokers are left steer

 

[Luvnlife]

Looks great. Will the hull support bigger outboards?

Best part of ordering up a new boat, you could put the steering wheel in the center for all that matters.

 

[retaocleg]

a great running boat....

 

[whiteworks]

That’s badass

 

[RiverDave]

I’m guessing the drivers seat is adjustable? Is that why there isn’t a reverse seat on that side as well?

Boat came out nice!!

I dig it just for the simplicity of having a little more room to shuffle around with people and gear. Great spot for the cooler as well. You know for kids drinks and such

Ohh yah buddy.

 

[RitcheyRch]

What a beautiful boat.

 

[BingerFang]

The coolest new boat build posted here in a long time. Congrats!!!

I’m not an outboard guy but that’s exactly what I was wondering

 

[Joe mama]

I’m stoked on this!!

 

[wfowahoo]

I’m stoked on this!!

why did they put a 300 on a 22 stoker when it can handle a 400 0r 450 or even a 500 ? Its only 120 lbs heavier then the original V8 OMC.

I’m gonna take a wild guess. Maybe Monayyssssss

That is probably what the customer wanted.

Exactly. The driver seat is on a slider.
Customer also wanted to have a nice open spot in the cockpit to have cooler and some gear instead of having to crawl under the dash or behind the rear bench all the time.

One really cool thing on this build was the customer made their own build sheet and that was what we used for the entire build. They had pictures with notes of various Stokers and Eliminators with features they liked or style they liked and changes they want their boat to have.

Truly custom to the exact Stoker they wanted.

 

[Mototrig]

The boat is rigged right steer most Stokers are left steer

I think I'm in the minority when I say I prefer left steer.


Beautiful build!!!

Just curious, are you left handed?

 

[Mototrig]

Just curious, are you left handed?

No , left is my stranger I'm a righty.

My first 2 boats were right steer, always felt odd to me.

 

[GregG]

That boat ....... Wow, wow and wow

 

[Xstream]

I think I'm in the minority when I say I prefer left steer.


Beautiful build!!!

A lot of outboards are right steer to compensate the way the motor torques. Like circle boats turn the motor and run off the front of the crank instead of the flywheel

Beautiful build!!!

I always thought I would prefer left hand with a foot throttle but offshore controls were a game changer.

 

[Taboma]

Beautiful boat, surprised there doesn't appear to be a provision (Socket) for a removable ski pole, but that and maybe a dual control foot/hand throttle like on my Cole, would be perfect at least for me.

 

[lenmann]

Man that really came out nice.

I think it says a lot about Eliminator that they are willing and have the talent on staff to take on these kind of truly custom and nearly one-off builds. I know lots of inmates were put off by the price but as is often said around here the man-hours and material to build a big cat isn't that much more than a boat like this. I'm guessing the big cat has a bit better margin. Its cool that they still do custom.

Nice, offshore controls make a big difference huh?
Drove my buddies leftie jet with a foot throttle, felt comfortable

 

[badluck]

Steering wheel is definitely on the wrong side for left turns. bad ass boat!

 

[707dog]

what a beautiful boat nice to see them building one, there's a couple 224 stokers up here in norcal that like to play around the 100+ mph mark, they ride like fine tuned track car.

 

[Kenboat]

Very cool boat, happy to see a boat that can fit in most normal garages.

 

[baja-chris]

My first two smallish outboards were left steer, a 19 Daytona and a schiada, now I have a vintage baker tunnel with right steer and it feels strange.

Great Job!! Looking forward to hearing how she runs with 300R. Please keep use posted my Guess 88 mph with 28 Bravo FS.

 

[boat527]

No "splash well" anymore?

Looks flat in the pics. Thx!

 

[attitude]

Any update on how it ran?

 

[Ultra247]

Beautiful boat! I'm surprised that it doesn't have turn signals for the trim and jack plate? No jack plate needed for a 350R? Maybe too heavy for a jack plate? Just curious whether these are a "thing of the past"?

Looks like a Seastar jackplate is on there..4 inch unit. Looks like mine.

Is yours a 22 SST I believe the 224 deck well was always flat. What power are you going with. Photos and Performance?.

Most Outboards are set up with Jackplates. This new Beautiful Boat is set up more for Pleasure. I would think the 224 would be a great Option set up for Skiracing
Carbon/Kevlar lay up, Open floor, Light Interior, Foot throttle and Turn signal trim and Jack.
Pushing 400 hours on the Labsport set up.
