On the aircraft I fly I have seen min clean as low as 180 and as high as 245 depending on weight, pretty hard to guess the stall speed accurately enough.
It should be really easy to guess that speed as you should have a basic idea of your weight and about where that puts your stall speed. In addition you should have a set of go to pitch and power settings for various phases of flight.
