You CHURCH Fukkas....
Shrink your carbon footprint or I’ll snarl at you....

Official Church response: Fuck you, Greta.

 

[War Canoe]

I’ve been wanting a stoker for a few years now and finally got to bring one home this week. It’s a 1985 20’ with an Evinrude 235. Gel is very well kept and the boat is in excellent condition. Very excited to get her wet soon... View attachment 867079

try a 26 Bblade blaster...

 

[lake p.a.l.]

I'm no expert but why go to a 3 blade?

I would think trying 4 & 5 blade props would be more beneficial than wasting your time with 3 blade but every boat/set-up is different. Good luck

 

[SKIA36]

Stokers like 3 blade choppers for the bow lift.

 

[Ragged Edge]

Will do! It came with a 4 blade 24 pitch ski prop so I was just going to run that for now unless someone has a 3 blade they would want to part with.

Should I be worried that it doesn’t have a nose cone or low water pickup?

The four blade you have will be fine for fun days out with the family. For top speed runs, as Skia36 mentioned these hulls like a 3 blade chopper but the best prop I've ever run on a 20' Stoker is the 3 blade Merc Lightening ET, 26 pitch if you leave the engine height where it is, 28 if you go higher.

I wouldn't worry about the low water pick ups unless you are going to go up on the engine height.

Where are you located? If your in Socal and have or get a prop hub for your "rude" I have some props you can test.

Today was fun....
More subdued, yet fun.

Thanks for a great day of distancing. Can't wait til we can reciprocate on our tank out in Bay

 

[War Canoe]

Great little run today...just short of a hundred miles...not bad. Water was smooth!!
Big thanks to crewman Rob....
Bought us lunch and paid for parking. A true boating gentleman.

Saw you in the plane yesterday as we entered the lake coming down out of the river (I stood up and waved), then saw you in the Nordic today as we came through the channel. Both pieces of equipment looked great as usual!

 

[lake p.a.l.]

It's all about getting out & having fun. Listening to Skia & Ragged will get your Stoker dialed in. We didn't get past 60mph yesterday & had a BLAST!!! Thanks to War Canoe for a great social distancing mental health day.

I'm located in Fullerton and would love to take you up on that offer, thank you very much! I don't have a prop hub yet but it's on the list of things to buy.

the phantom...well..he is just a phantom there is a rumor he once boated in a Mirage jag River racer that was legit

 

[War Canoe]

I really want a Pirate ship.....something about it.

 

[War Canoe]

Hi, would you like to work on a real Pirate ship?

 

[War Canoe]

I always worry about you speedsters out there and all these tight turns you tell me about.

I’ve been told you guys cruise at 80 miles an hour.
I generally cruise about 35 or 40. 80 would be my maximum top end.

Was your “Stocker” stock?

 

[War Canoe]

Most turns are decent visibility...that said, you must drive very defensive to be safe. The Church preaches of safety on the water.
Wear your gear, assume there are idiots lurking.

It looks like some fast running boats.

This is my current slow boat.

How much fuel do I need to run with these guys? I hold 56 gal. I run 108 Enduro Legal.

56 gallons is way more than most of the under 21' boats running the Delta. Let's us know when u want to tear up our waters around here. My slow turd can haul 200 gallons but never filled her.

Looking @ pics of your boat I'm fairly certain you can cruise 80 no problem............

I should clarify my statement. With a 24 pitch drag prop my boat is capable of well over 80 miles an hour. I’m sure if I put a tall prop on I could cruise at 80 all day long with enough fuel.

The truth is I don’t like driving that fast for long periods of time. I like to cruise slower and enjoy the scenery, I don’t enjoy much at 80 miles an hour . Most importantly, I am an old man.

There are times we cruise 80-100mph when appropriate & times we cruise 40-50.
Hope you can join us sometime

That’s the plan. I’ve been looking for property up around El Dorado Hills so I can retire.

I see many boating days in your future.
you’re going to love this place!

Chasing around the infamous Stoker 2001 has been fun. We can now effectively team up and shorten his whip!

 

[War Canoe]

His propensity to co-pilot with Dr. Plague frightens the average boater into not protecting the race line....Sinister, I tell you!

You have to be careful with Stoker 2001 he is a very sneaky slippery duck .
