The 20ft Schiada Tunnel will not be as fast as a like equiped Stoker. I have a 20ft Schiada Tunnel rigged and built by Steve Buckeluwe and as far as I know it was the fastest 20ft tunnel outboard Schiada made @97mph with a carbureted 2.4 Bridgeport, 12" set back, lite lay-up ect. Stokers will usually be a couple or more miles per hour faster but won't ride as smooth as the Schiada.
I didn't mean to imply that Stokers didn't ride well, they do, just my experience is that the 20ft Schiada RT rides a bit softer than the 20ft SST.
No chance the Stoker will be faster. No chance there is a Stoker running 97 with a 2.4 especially if it was set up by Stoker.
Has there ever been a 100mph Stoker?
I've seen the boat in the ad above and it is a VERY sweet ride.
I would guess the boats are similar quality but the Schiada has a true elite pedigree and it shows. Stoker owners just aint too bright but damn they sure are committed to Stokers. Wonder what they have been drinking?
