Not to start a bunch of ****-(but the truth) just gps'd my buddys 1988 chap villan III 24 with a bravo drive and 400 hp bbc 23p Qsilver prop, 3 guys, myself 220 my friend 230 and the owner 260, with a cooler full of beer-ice 30 pack, a 80lb ac unit we ran 61.7. Mind you it has a cuddy, porta pot, cockpit for 5 people full windsheild, interior, anchor, ropes, bumpers, two batteries... He weights a **** load more then me. I guessing a labbed prop, lose the extra weight, with just me and him we could get a easy 65mph out of it. I could walk right by him with out a problem.... The vid will be up soon, once my seats come back from the seat man, along with my gps numbers to back my (socalled talk up) Who knows maybe I will add a few mph to my talk :) And to the guy with the cig, very nice ride he has, but I would expect better then that with that kinda hp.. It would be a shame if i could walk a 700 hp boat with a basically STOCK motor... \

80 mph John

Amen!

Not to weigh in on what seems to be a done and dusted event but substantiating evidence helps.

According to Chris Craft, the 222 weighs in at 2190Lbs dry.
Take off around 300-400lbs of cabin, seats, ballast and crap for the 202.
According to my maths, an incjected SBC weighs ~575lbs, add around 80lbs for exhaust (total) and another 150lbs for old mate Alpha hanging on the back and you've got aroud 2600lbs of boat. Add fuel and driver, you're still not that heavy.

Now, the SBC EFI will rev like a bastard to 6000 rpm if you let it, meaning at 5300-5500rpm it's making full go noise hp. (unlike most 'stock' BBCs). Again, keep in mind that the Stinger is lighter, flatter, padded and wider. It will be faster than a cigarrette of the lame length. (Sorry).

I know, because my 222 went 67mph (GPS) with a 330hp 454 mag and an Alpha swinging a 30 on 1.82s, and it weighs alot more.

Now I also know that my 222 running 550hp, a 1.5 B1 and a 25P Mirage + will push 85mph happily. I know nothing about slip or math, I know reality. My last boat went about 105mph on ~420hp and it was a flat bottom v-drive with a 2 blade and bad attitude. That was scary but again not inconceivable. If the 202 is running at 5-6% slip and that is acceptable, good on him. I'm anxiously awaiting how fast it'll go next with what he's got coming!

LONG LIVE THE STINGERS!
