81.1 gps in a Sterling

[sterling11]

Yes 81 mph in a sterling with a razor 4 27p prop. Now that's flat out hauling in a 22 foot boat

My 2011 Sterling turned 83.7 with sho motor and 27T1 prop reworked by Mark Croxton

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

[ldbass55]

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....

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......

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.

that was some shallow water to be running 80 plus in....
you must have balls of aluminum or something...

My 206 is just over 1400 lbs.

You only need a foot and half

That movin congrats. Hows the fishing and the weather down there.
It was snowing yesterday up here just incase you where wondering.

[ldbass55]

that would be true inky....but i am working on a few things for those rice burners...
LD

[ldbass55]

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....
and i think i been talking about the razor for a while on this boat...its a really good match....

I still love those boats and an honest 80+
