how many 260 stingers with 300 tempest??
I have an 86 chris craft stinger 260 that has a pair of tempest 300 mercs and the motors are mounted 2" higher then normal. I am unable to run aluminum props due to the higher x damention. The boat came factory with K planes and through hulls
anyone else have a set up like this in there 260? or maybe know my boat?

I see your in Ontario as well...
2 inches seems a bit high and I wonder why it was done with such a high x factor??? Your explanation means the drives might be rather shallow in the water?
Are you running Alphas as well?

yes it has alphas i can set this boat on one block (6x6) on the centre and the drives all the way down and not touch the ground! also with the drives as high as they are it doesnt back up verygood as most of the prop wash hits the transom... but from what i have seen it seems to be a rare 260...

I am in Niagara and hope your not far away? I would love to come and see the boat and I can give you some names of people here in Ontario that are expert in this thing.
I was on the lake today. We took my buddies Cobalt over to Port Credit for the day and back to St.Catharines.
WOW!!! What a great day for boating................
Sorry you missed it. Not many days left this season.
