Do any of you know of anyone with stokers mainly the sst 20 ft (or hydrostream HST's) that are rigged with a mercury promax of any type but mainly the 300. I am mainly interested in knowing about the 300 and not the 300x as much but info on that would suffice as well. What type of results have you had? Drivability, stability, control, danger level (if any) speed etc. etc. etc. I know that the promax 300 weight is 480 lbs dry which weighs about 74 pounds more than my 200 blackmax. I have already heard some pros and cons from respectable sources who have made some conflicting statements against the others view and just want some more clarity if possible.
Thanks

You see that's just it, I spoke to Al about this a few days ago and he vehemently recommended against rigging a promax 300 on one of those but then added that it could be awesome in one drivers hands but be basically a death sentence to an amateur driver considering that the sport master gear case with low water pickup likes to be ran really high because the stern tends to drag alot when running at or below pad. He then added that if you got real squirrelly at high speed, there would no stern in the water to help you gain back control of the boat quickly. I consider myself a fairly accomplished boater and adapt very quickly to driving needs. I talked to Eric Simon about rigging one on mine and he said it would be totally fine (in fact would probably be awesome) but then again he does not build stokers.
Anymore ideas or opinions? Thanx for the input so far.

By the way TD, thanks for the input on Kim's hydrostream I would like to hear more about that beast and the type of rigging (jackplate, setback if any, motor height, weight and overpowering issues if any.) That just seems like that v8 would be extremely torquey monster!

What type of results do you want to see? I would take Als opinion on this setup and then ask yourself which driver am I. If it gets squirly at speed and you need to get that motor down in a hurry is it possible with your current setup, can the hydrolics in the jack be modified to get it down faster and would that solve the problem? I think if I was lookin to go fast I would have Al build a engine and set it up how ever he recomends.

This post is not to slam Al S. it's just the way it is.
Every manufacturer wants to cover their ass. Al knows full well that his boats will take that motor and handle it safely. I mean just how hard can a Mod vee be to drive? Not VERY! Now Allisons on the other hand are quite a handful and there is a learning curve which you damn well better pay heed to or you're gonna get wet. Darris has a recommended for fuel mileage sticker altho they are coast guard rated unlimited. The sticker causes insurance companys to get queazy. What this boils down to is these two manufacturers want to sell hipo boats but are trying to protect their own ass as so they should.
In 1978, the first year the Evinrude 235 was out I bought one and put it on a Hydrostream Viper, 15 footer. It was a handful but I learned to drive it before it killed me. Now I can drive anything on the planet but not because I was born good but because I took the time to learn them. You should too. Follow that guideline and you can drive a Stoker with any motor out there.
Good luck and be safe.

I appreciate all your input, but I am inclined to take the chance with the promax. I would never drive to test my wits with my wife and 3 kids in it with me, that goes without saying, but you bet I would get on that bad boy with just me or another adult male passenger or 2. I am not arrogant about my ability to feel the boats capabilities but I am confident with the right rigging setup that I would do just fine. I am not above reproach though and still welcome your personal experience and/or suggestions.

Well I want a motor that has power to spare and is lighter than the E-tecs, affordable and reliable. Basically the torque on the 300 promax with the right pitch prop would make up for the high rev's needed from a 2.5l to go the same speed. I am not too interested in the high strung 2.5L mercs because of potential reliability issues.

Okay, you asked :cool: It has about 6" of setback from the jackplate, I try to run it even with the pad. The engine weighs in at 570 lbs. boat is 1200 Lbs. and it is over powered by alot, but what the hey! She will rip at over a 100+ mph with ease and it is so stable its scary :p Torque in the steering is off the wall, you can turn right really fast, turn left under hard acceleration is a no go! I have just the no feed back steering, no feed back cause you can turn it left :p My wife and kids love it, I have 3 girls 21,20 and 18......They like this one over my v-drive anyday :cool: .......( . )( . ).........My Rude is pushing 340 hp @ the prop right now :crossx:

As I recall, it looked something like this.

Is that a CMC-ML65 paired with a 4" Land and Sea hydraulic? I know you swapped out that L&S plate since then.
http://www.carlsonspeed.com/~tombrown/QuickLink/img_2372.jpg
Remember when it got out of control on you, spun out, and you were thrown from the boat?

Great Stuff! Shoot I do not think that I even want to go over 100. The nice thing is that the promax comes with hydraulic steering so I would have no trouble turning left at a decent clip.
You are from Alberta? Ever take that HST out on Lake Okanagan in Kelowna BC? i have a good friend that lives there and he tells me that people love their race boats up there.

The hydraulic steering will only mask handling, and setup issues of any boat. Hydraulic steering sure wont fix a wrong gearcase selection, height or prop selection, just make it less noticeable till its too late.

My brother runs a Pro-Max 300 and has had great luck. He popped his 2.5 twice in the first two years. He said screw the high rpm's and went with the larger Pro-Max 300 motor. Better in all situations. At Stoker said don't do it but should you really take advice from a Evinrude guy? LOL Anyway it is a much better boat and a lot less weight sensative. Hope this helps

Well I would say listen to Al....at least he is warning you against building a boat that might be dangerous to drive or put you and your family in danger.
Now if your goal is to build a race boat than have at it....but personally I will listen to the builder of a boat over some people on the internet any day. Esepcially when these people dont give a $hit if your boat puts your family in Danger. I do have to say it would be interested to see though, and if you do go this way....keep us updated.

Rick
So he has one on a 20 foot stoker? If so I would love to hear what kind of rigging setup he has with it. Any setback? Is the turning capability compromised or improved for that matter?
And as far as destroying those high strung race 2.5 engines that is the reason that I too would prefer the lower rpm torque and nearly bulletproof reliability of a 300 promax (which was my original intent) and that extra torque would afford me the ability to lope the motor along at a pretty good clip with a 28 to 32 pitch prop. My intent is to have a motor on that boat that would be the last motor that I would ever need and have power to spare.

I do appreciate everyones input and my family's safety is paramount, I just think that what it comes down to mainly is my foot. I do not intend to have my foot in it, especially with my little ones aboard. The goal that I have, I already stated, and if I am an absolute idiot please tell me so but give me your reasons and experience to why. It is not like I just started driving boats or outboards for that matter. I have been driving high performance boats since I was 12 now turning 33.

I don't know anything about Stokers but I think its getting use to the boat before you start going crazy. I have to ask you, do you think a 300 will reach 100 mph in that boat ? I have been in a Liberater with a 300X and the best was 95.........( . )( . ).......My kids like about 70-80 mph, smooth ride even in 2-3 foot chop and they say it looks like it is going a 100 mph sitting on the beach. Happy boating bra :cool:

Considering that the HST bottom is identical to mine and the 2 boats are almost identical in weight then now what do you think? I have plenty of seat time in this boat and I am confident that this boat would easily be in the upper 90's to 100+ by myself if i pushed it. I would never take my kids that fast and they already have seen 75 in it which is borderline even though (like your HST it is extremely stable feeling.) That 300 motor is essentially stock except for the sportmaster lower unit and the painted cowl.

It's all about horsepower buddy, @ 300 hp I was hitting a hundred +! 340 @ the prop on this new rebuild, still under 6000 grand..106 mph and just breaking it in bra, that 300 won't touch a 100 mph :) Don't want to break your bubble, but 90 + is still fast bra...........( . )( . )........... :cool:

Haha even if I am wrong that is still plenty fast!
Oh and another thing I may not be getting the motor after all! He had that motor listed on Ebay at the same time and about an hour right after I called in my deposit somebody won the auction with buy it now. Which isn't cool because they should have ended their auction once I committed, now they are saying that they have to honor that buyer and I am thinking, "well what about honoring me!" So we will see, hopefully I will have an answer in the morning. They'd better honor our deal! What's right is right, I had it first!

I would have to say that if Al is anything he is careful, he knows that would be more boat than most can handle. The 22SST with an X is a 100plus mph boat so the 20 would be really fast.

Kool, I'm glad you kicked some butt. Cash helps too. I stayed home and worked on my hydro for the next race . My gearcase exploded.
The heads I am looking for are casting number 18767C3 . I need them soon if you have them or know of anybody that does. Thanks
