[riverbound]

I might know a thing or two;). Your bet bet woud be to get a hold of Al Stoker, he can give you all the info you need on tese boat.
I love mine and cant think of a better boat in its size range for all around boating.

[Towndrunk]

Maybe a Lonestar or Bayliner. Also don't forget the Larson!

[Forkin' Crazy]

Sounds like a challenge to me!!!!

[Wicky]

Any one else want to joke a stoker?? I bet TD's hunting boat could throw a croaker at your stoker!!
What do ya say DAVEO??
My Allison vs your Stoker? If I have engine failure, I don't have to cover the bet. That doesn't work that way for you though! You must pay either way.
I'm sure I could sell your stoker for cheap once I own it!!!!:D :D
LMAO!!

You seem to talk about how well your boat runs in the big stuff....do you mind posting video/pics of your boat running those speeds in that water?? There is plenty of footage/ pics of a stoker running those speeds in similar water (ie Jackpunx 20'er in the 300) funny thing is, you run your mouth constantly bu have no FACTS or proof that your boat can actually do it. I can GUARANTEE that if your boat is running similar to how it is in your signature......any sort of variation in the water is going to throw that thing WAY out of whack.
So once again PLEASE post some sort of proof that your boat can actually run like you claim it to.
<------raising the BS flag all the way up on this one ;)

Video? Pictures? You Stoker guys sure are a tough group. http://www.***boat.com/ubb/graemlins/idea_2.gif Ganging up on an Allison owner because you don't have the driver skill to balance a boat on the pad. http://www.***boat.com/ubb/graemlins/idea_2.gif
And your guarantee…??? Have you ever been in or driven an Allison?
I have no physical proof. And I really don’t give a fukk if you believe me or not! Ignorance is bliss! You can take your BS flag and stick it where the sun don't shine! :eek:

Um yes I have driven a boat with a pad....and kept it on the pad.....I would like to see it done in the rough stuff ;)
And your guarantee…??? Have you ever been in or driven an Allison?
Yes....and I still call BS on your claims.

Like I said....sounds like a bunch of BS to me. I guess ignorance would be if I had NO experience boating and said that. Or is ignorance running your mouth and not being able to back up your claims with ANY proof??:idea:

I'll vouch for him.:jawdrop:
Not to offend you but I asked for actual proof. It doesnt even have to be pics/videos of HIS boat.
Anyone an spout there mouths ;) but if you are gonna make BS claims back them up.

Allisons are easy to drive. They are very twitchy and only made to be run on very smooth waters (preferably a pond) with little to no wind to upset them. Stokers rule and are the be all of all boats, period. :sleeping:

I don't really even have a boat. The one in my sig I stole from another website.

[Wicky]

:D I'll vouch for him.:jawdrop:
I'll second that voucher!!!
And I have passed more than a couple of stokers in good 2ft chop on Havasu.
I'll use Havasu Barney as my witness!!!:D
In fact, it was just a couple of weeks ago at BBSP where we were running WOT in the chop. Roughly, no pun intended, we were runnning mid to upper 90s. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the other boats were a 21 Liberator and a 21 Daytona. Both with a 300s pushing them. Me, I run a 225 bone stock promax!! Oh yeah, it was all good until I stripped the splines on my cheap ass Ron Hill back up prop!!! I guess that's better than toasting a lower unit again.
Stokers are ugmo. That is just my opinion and I could be wrong. Only thing is that most agree with me.
I definitely know I've never been passed by one in rough or smooth water. Just ask Ritchey Rich!!!

[motion]

i would not challenge wicky to an allison driving contest, because i think those of you who drive mod vp's are not prepared to deal with what skills he will bring.
now with that being said, wicky i remember my stoker passing you at will several years ago at bbsp, no substitute for drag motor hp.
I have had both boats and they are both excellent in every way, you guys remind me of my children fighting over what flavor popsicle is best. they are all good, or whos better blonds or brunettes? they are both great. just get along and go boating. thanks

[Tom Brown]

Also don't forget the Larson!
Don't you go diss'ing Larson. http://www.***boat.com/ubb/mad.gif
He just does'nt like those black motors.
I'm sorry you had to learn this from me but your uncle is gay.
I've been out in 3.5"
Three and a half inches? What were you out in?..... your penis?
Sorry man... had to. :D
Um yes I have driven a boat with a pad....and kept it on the pad.....I would like to see it done in the rough stuff ;)
I don't think heavy chop makes it much more difficult to balance a pad hull than glass smooth water. Light chop is easiest, IMO.
For what it's worth, you don't sound like someone who has much pad-V experience. Maybe you've just had an extremely different set of experiences than I have had.
Yes....and I still call BS on your claims.
FC doesn't post many pictures on this board but he posts plenty of pictures on other forums. He can back up his claims as well as anyone who posts here. He's been involved in hull design and layup for quite a few years, as I recall. He is also a skilled outboard guy. By skilled, I'm not talking about knowing how to change impellers and install carb kits.
In fact, I would suggest FC massively undersells his skills and experience. Like many others who post in here, he has plenty of both but he chooses not to blather on about how great he is. I love that about this forum.
There is way more expertise here than someone might guess, if they didn't know who is behind most of the screen names. This place is a breath of fresh air compared to the jet forum where some of the regular posters pretend to know everything about everything.
From what I understand about you Riverbound, you and I are light weights compared to most of the regular posters in here.
.... is ignorance running your mouth and not being able to back up your claims with ANY proof??:idea:
How much proof have you provided, riverbound? Maybe we should start there.
Popping hulls out of a mold and fixing engines does not put you in FC's league, IMO.
Stokers are ugmo. That is just my opinion and I could be wrong. Only thing is that most agree with me.
Most... perhaps.... but not me. I like them. I'm talking about both their looks and their performance.
The only real issue I have with Stoker and Allison hulls is that they are the B list. Good as they are, I don't wish to waste my time with them. Instead, I've stepped up to a real performance hull..... Glastron. :cool:
