Just wanted to let everyone know we are getting close to a deal on the boats being built again. I will update as soon as more info is available.

I was bummed when I got home from the military and planned on buying a new stoker off the show room floor down the street from my house.....just to find out they closed up shop.

This is exciting news

Saw this as well, he said he and his dad are not going to be involved in production, so they are licensing someone to use the molds I guess. Hopefully they dont cost $125k like some other older 21 foot hulls being offered again by another company.

 

[TimeBandit]

Having heavy four-stroke power won't help.

 

[attitude]

A 20.4 is my obtainable dream boat, I really hope they will be wallet friendly!

There's the rub.

The 20' worked well with a 1st gen E-tec, but the 2nd gen was too heavy. All the 4 strokes are too heavy. I think this is probably to replace all the race hulls lost in the last few years and get some non-30 year old fiberglass to keep the drivers safer.

I'd buy one if I could buy a new engine that would work right on it...but I can't.

 

[hallett21]

224 with a 300 or 400 would be fun

This is exactly right. Current power is way too heavy for that hull.

Now the 22 is a Whole different story...

 

[Shlbyntro]

Liberator figured it out. Im sure they will too.

I'm stoked!

 

[lbhsbz]

now show me a Liberator that turns like a Stoker...or a Lavey 18'10"..... with a V8 4 stroke hanging off the back.

I'm not racing them. I don't really care how hard the boat turns so long as it turns. One of my bucketlist boats is still a Stoker with a 300 Johnson V8.

Just sayin…

I talked to Alan several times when I had a stoker. He said it wasn’t so much the weight of the new outboards but rather the size of the new lower units that didn’t agree with the boats. They were designed around the CLE and early sportmaster lowers, now the width and bullet size on the lowers is much bigger than they were back then. The issue is blow out. Had it happen on a GMT, was using the stock lower while the CLE was being fixed, the stock lower was good to about 80, shortly thereafter the boats shakes back and forth and turns hard on it’s own, wakes you up pretty quick.

I'm assuming that is due to the lower providing too much lift? Could that be reduced by blending the transition from sketch to bullet more, reducing the most effective lifting surface of the lower?

The guy that owned this boat ruined it. He is turning it into a jet boat

Where’d you hear that?

 

[BingerFang]

Awesome news! I love my Stoker. It’s by far the best handling boat I’ve ever owned and it turns like a Porsche

 

[NeedlesRat]

Where’d you hear that?

My uncle owned the boat prior to the current owner. They still talk often and he told him he was making it a jet and showed pictures with the hole in it. As well as on his Instagram he has mentioned it. Completely ruined the boat.

I'd be fine with an older pro max and fresh paint

Keeping it classy with the gel scheme. Very nice

 

[BingerFang]

It would be cool to see Al and @RiverDave get together and do a video once this is done, go over the history ect…

are those pieces G10?

i have a blue one. always secretly wanted a red one lol

 

[attitude]

I read on FB that the second Stoker being built is a 20.4 with a 2.5 offshore that is still in the crate. So jealous! Hopefully the owner doesn’t mind me going down to Eliminator and drooling all over it lol.

.... when the engine is worth as much as the brand new hull.... lol!

 

[Backlash]

So what are they powering the red one with??

Yes, I know...an engine Goose. But what engine?

A 300r I believe.

This boat lives on the lower river in Blythe.

I think I saw this at the river run. It's super nice. badass boat dude.

Yes, I was there! My cousin is the one who runs lower river outboards and organizes the run.

Always loved the classic 22 Soker with twins to bad its being coverted to a jet boat.

[Duramax]

Crazy how the 2.5 is still such an iconic motor, and searched for high and low.

I agree. Long live the 2.5!

The red with twins is insane!!!

Did someone actually start producing the Stoker hull?

you can order one from eliminator.

 

[SKIA36]

The evolved 1st out of the mold 22.

 

[clarence]

I'd buy one if I could buy a new engine that would work right on it...but I can't.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why Mercury Does not have a ProXS version of this [3.4 V6 225] in 225 or even a Mercury Racing R version.
