stinger202 questions
hello all....its been quite a few years but i'm kinda back in "go fast boating".the wife and i have a 34' silverton that we do alot of cruising in. she convined me to buy a stinger cause she thought it looked cute (yeah i actually paid money for something cause she thought it was cute).anyway..its been a good 15yrs since i had a go fast.ive had superboats,hydrostreams and allisons...all outboards.
when i bought this boat it had no motor, i originally wanted to put a smallblock in it, but i got a great deal on a 454 tied to a bravo1. i was wondering what props you guys are running on these boats. from what i gather these arent the best handling boats...should i bother with any mods other than a good exhaust system...any hepful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Zane just sold my 222 it wasnt a bad handling boat but it did have tabs n it that helped out a lot. Having the bravo setup is mint i thad the alpha took it easy so i didnt break anything and loved every minute of the boat. Exhaust yea def. a good choose make sure u run a drive shower also those love to create heat.

Re: stinger202 questions
outlaw....where exactly was the sand. currently i have cut out the floors to repair a soft spot and to check the stringers and such. up in the bow there is only a small area that is covered with plywood and glassed in. it appears to be factory. do you think i should pop the boards up to look for sand. i dont have any foamed in mounds.....what prop were you running.
