Re: Own a Stinger or a Scorpion? Stingerfest 2005.
 

There was a Stinger/Scorpion thread over on SW.

Several people over there (actually... I think that there are more Stinger owners on the other site...) are into the idea as well.

All together, there seems to be more than 10 Lake Erie Stingers/Scorpions on the two forums that seems interested.

Will be interested to hear what Glassdave thinks.

I can't tell.

I don't think that the deck is higher.... but maybe it is.

here is Dave's 260Scorpion (1985)

Fund,

Take a look at this 26 -86. Its a complete new and a little bit higher deck. More like my 312 -89

Dave's boat is nice....like the scheme.

thanks ra :cool:

man i hafta check out this part of the forum more often. im in for stingerfest. when ever where ever :D

Jon the thunder fest was great. i stayed all weekend. brought the race boat and the Stinger. cant wait for this years. by the way i am at riverview this year. should have the boat in pretty soon. hows your boat doing? i hear they started doing some work at LP on some sort of a club house an pool :cool:

Re: Own a Stinger or a Scorpion? Stingerfest 2005.
 

Hi Dave,

I am going back to LP. (Not for the clubhouse or whatever....)

I am living down near Maumee this year, instead of the "west end."
This adds about 15 minutes each way to the boat, so I went with LP so that I don't have to do the 15 minute crawl out the Ottawa, (each way) too.

But man.... $1,225 for a slip for three months kind of sucks.

But it also is a really easy dock to get into and out of by myself with that blind spot for a swim platform. :D
I took the boat out solo last year more than with people.
Nice to have a slip I can get in and out of really easy without chewing stuff up.
So I will be at the same place at LP that I was last year.
(near Tizbad)
I went to Thunder on the River two out of the three days in 2004.
I would go back. The best part is that you could come and go.

On my boat... I am doing exhaust manifold gaskets and some hoses but nothing big this year. The last four years I have tackled big projects (engine swaps, cams, manifolds,) on one or the other of the boats.
This year I am trying not to get crazy.
But I would like fresh power.
Maybe 2006.

This year I am going for an earlier splash.
Maybe in a week or ten days.
Even though I don't PLAN a bunch of work, it IS a boat.... so we'll see if the boat is as ready to get wet as I am.
I have already serviced the drives and done the engine oil.
There is always a list.... but with any luck my list will be short this spring.

Hey Mange,
I think I see what you mean.

I will have to raft off of Dave this year so I can get a side by side view. :D
Maybe my deck is higher.

Re: Own a Stinger or a Scorpion? Stingerfest 2005.
 

I need to check here more often too...fund, let me know if you get something lined up, if I'm available I'd head down that way.

Re: Own a Stinger or a Scorpion? Stingerfest 2005.
 

Wish I could go--I've got a Scorpion 168 :rolleyes: I don't think it will do very well in the rough stuff. Maybe someday I can upgrade.
