My buddy had a 1988 375 Stinger. It was a real cool boat, lots of headroom, big enclosed head with shower, hot water, stove, etc. his only had 365HP engines, and did 55-60, but its cool to see they will run with some big power. His started coming apart after abusing it on Lake Michigan in big waves. Mostly the cabin stuff like cabinets and what not were falling apart. Didnt they have foam stringers in the late 80's stingers?

Great looking boat. Have you done any testing yet for actual numbers? My 39 Scorpion only does in the low 70's with 630HP 540's per side through Huber's and TRS's.

yes, it ran in the mid 90s with 32 pitch turning 5800 rpm, it sucked the fuel psi down so i had to add second supply and up the psi. i am thinking about 34 p props for this yr.
