This was place we offered on before we got our place here. Glad we are where we are.
Ran entire Lil Niangua & Big Niangua this afternoon
That last pic is a bunch of seagulls & pelicans.
This morning we are picking up friends at their dock then down to Bagnell Strip for breakfast, 39 miles, and who knows what detour hydration stops on the way back. NautiFish rum bar was great yesterday.
Found a badass CP performance hull...
Stage 3 Yamaha 376 HP
My wife asked me, “why are you rearranging the garage?”
Should I tell her? Naaaah... View attachment 1165988 View attachment 1165989

Not much tongue weight?
I understand that just 4 boats were made with outboard power...Rev, were there many of those built specifically for outboard power? Looks great

This is a rare bird. View attachment 1166719
The owner says it handles excellent. Gets a great hole shot.How does it plane, handle, get over surf wakes, etc?
Talon ...interesting boat.
Not so fast...102 w/300xs (not bad)?
Turned like a Porsche...
Nose rode too low...easy to stuff.
Cool lines. Cramped interior with console in the center, was my experience.
Power assist steering and unique hull design made for an incredible handling and confidence inspiring ride.

My 21’ Cougar smoked the Talon by a long shot! BTW: the 102 mph was with one person, low fuel, everything out of the boat. The boat in “normal” set up was mid 90’sFaster than a Cougar 22MTR!
A buddy of mine has a couple 22’ MTR’s for sale...pm if interested!Was looking at a new 22 talon to put my 280s on ,then I sat in one. Missed out on the beautiful 22 mtr a few years ago that I posted on here. That one is ticking off 102 with a 300x and the motor an inch too low. I'd really like a 24 tuff to put them on but I'm not giving up the 15 inch mids.
Dunno...guess I'll just sit and stare at them,still new in the boxes.
Al Stoker won the enduro....450 Merc Outboard View attachment 1167931 power
I was in disbelief when I saw what he was able to run.....either way, Congratulations on the win.Sooooo badass
I thought they didn't allow capsule/canopy boats?
Do they still force outboards to run 1" below the bottom of the boat?
I was questioned over the past 3 years for putting a 400 on my 22 Stoker, ( on the FB site) to put mildly.I was in disbelief when I saw what he was able to run.....either way, Congratulations on the win.
1. A capsule boat.....??
2. 450 Outboard horsepower....??
Al has connections to this race that allow him more room to do creative builds.
I’m going to call that progress.
Get a 22’ Stoker or Cougar and bolt on a 450 and let’s build this class. As you can see, it was a fast combo. I just might reappear on the starting line if I could run a 450 HP boat.
Hey Ross! 450 Outboard class are headed your way. I hope you allow ALL of them to race.

Congratulations to AlParker Enduro ...
Me and my bro Hanging out with Al Stoker before the brawl. We had some great moments out there. I liked racing Al...he was serious as a heart attack. He wanted to win. We wanted to win...This years race is Saturday!!! View attachment 1167374
24.99” is Max lengthThought there was 22' max length?
Congratulations to Al
Great drive!
In 2009 we watched from Al's pit with John, learning how a professional gets it done
Once again Stoker boat sets the standard of perfection in the next generation of high output outboards.
If you can't beat them,join them
I want one and it has a name WAR CANOE 111
It was riding in Bullhead Bullies 22 Stoker that hooked me and showed me the way
The rules committee drove me away from boating a dedicated die hard to search for other forms of entertainment. I learned what it takes to complete at Parker applied that and won more Championships that ending up winning a seat on LMP3 team l
This is what it takes to make me want to come back with a vengeance from the HELL they have put us through with a lap record .
Actually 24.999+Or -.000424.99” is Max length
with big inboard power,those gullwings leave HARD.experienced this alot when i was drag racing..they also make a decent lake/river boatThe owner says it handles excellent. Gets a great hole shot.
21’ Shadow with 300x hanging on back should be about right.What would be the perfect single outboard to run the Enduro next year? I know a lot depends on how high you can run equal to or above the bottom obviously.
I've always wanted to run the Enduro and I'm not gettin any younger........
Well, as a Stoker driver I would have to say a 20 Stoker, but good luck finding a race layup, most of those have been destroyed. You can still get a new STV from Havasu and I see used STV's for sale on Scream & Fly quite often. If you don't want to run 100+ MPH you can be very competitive in Divison II with a STV, same can be said for a GMT or Sleekcraft if you can find one. You would want to run a 2.0 liter to 2.5 liter engine with these hulls for ease of set up. Other engines can be run but getting the set up right takes time and $$$$$.What would be the perfect single outboard to run the Enduro next year?

If you want to run a more modern outboard (300x, 300xs, 300r or a Yamaha) you could look for a 21 or 22 Cougar, KMG, Eliminator, Liberator etc. and have some fun in Division VI.
21’ Shadow with 300x hanging on back should be about right.
Ours is a bone stock Promax. Trust me its going thru my head just for the experience. I would have less than no chance of winning anything because my lack of seat time in a V
Just reread my post. Any R motor would have to run Division VII. Same one Al just dominated.
I agree Steve they are definitely professional however a 1350 boat or capsule 450 OB monster on the same course as a 30 year old 2 liter REALLY ! No……Congratulations to Al

Well said!I agree Steve they are definitely professional however a 1350 boat or capsule 450 OB monster on the same course as a 30 year old 2 liter REALLY ! No……
That race has never been about fair. Unfortunately since the enduro returned It’s been all about who you know or how deep your pocket is.
