Wow, the SHO puts up the biggest 250 number thus far on a Sterling

numbers are subjective to a lot of variables....i have seen the sho in action, and its a strong motor..but loaded to fish it may be 1 mph faster than the merc..just saying...a loaded sterling wont run 83...with either engine....i have been in 2 sterling /sho combos, that run 80 to 81...LOADED....with what i consider a pretty light load..speed is subjective to the weight of the load....

They are one bad ass boat!!!!!!!!!! 22' true 80+ mph Boat...
So I am curious as to why the Sterling/Gambler grew to be so FAT? Really Gents 1900? What happened? LD maybe you could shed some light on this...... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

Whats wrong with a 22 foot bass boat with tons of storage being fat?
I have seen 80.4 in mine with a stock Bravo XS 28p. Its really just an awesome rig. And I have two power poles on the ass of mine. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
that was some shallow water to be running 80 plus in....
you must have balls of aluminum or something... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif
My 206 is just over 1400 lbs. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mug1.gif

That movin congrats. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/newyear1.gif Hows the fishing and the weather down there.
It was snowing yesterday up here just incase you where wondering. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif
that would be true inky....but i am working on a few things for those rice burners... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

for one thing...its the biggest boat they have ever built...plus the flotation in the re designed, much bigger rear deck...all this adds to a couple hundred pounds pretty quick...it weighs about the same as a 20 to 21 foot ranger...for the boat to exceed the 80 mph mark with a 250 is for sure proof that this may be gamblers fastest hull design.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
and i think i been talking about the razor for a while on this boat...its a really good match....
