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.

Fund, But the the 87 Stinger have the little bit higher deck ithink?!. Like mine 89 312 Stinger.

Mange

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

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

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

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.
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.
Maybe my deck is higher.

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.

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