1988 Stoker - New Interior, New Life

[Michael Rees]

After growing up on this boat my Dad passed it down to me and my family to enjoy. Now I'm enjoying it with my wife and two young boys! This will be a three generation Stoker! We love the lake life! #Merica #Stoker #Mercury

Is that a 21 classic? Does the 400 push it past 100? Mine with a 300xs would only get to 94.

It’s a 23 Daytona.

Best so far...

I thought it was a 23 the way it was handling the weight of the 400. What lake is that?

It’s also missing some center pod that I removed during its 5-year restrooms, so it sits a little lower at rest.

That’s Lake Minocqua in northern WI on its maiden voyage taking my family to lunch at the Thirsty Whale in Minocqua.

In order to not disrupt this thread, here’s the link to the build thread:

or you can PM me and I’d be happy to give you more details.

My Daytona is a late 87, I’d be curious to see how far apart time-wise our builds were, although mine is a WI built boat.

Oddly enough, I got this Daytona after I missed out on a 26’ Stoker.
