Hi, I'm new to this web site!
 
I have a 1984 Chris Craft Stinger 390X and I saw there was some interesting conversation about the 390's and if anyone wants to see I can post some pics of mine.

Well after 24 years of just WISHING I had the Miami Vice Edition Stinger 390X, I finally broke down and bought one.

I also still have my old faithful 260...its just a toy compared to the 390X, but a bit easier on fuel!

Its nice to have a choice on which one to go play with!:cool-smiley-026:

I got her in Jan of this year. And this was in March in North Carolina. Oh and if you couldnt tell, I was and am a huge Miami Vice Fan!

Hey Mike good to meet you! I too am a fan of MV. Your boat looks in good shape?
What do you have in it for engines?
Mine are not stock anymore as I have a pair of 420 mags, but its far better on gas than the original blown big blokcs it came with!!!:D

Mike's Stinger 06-06-2008 07:53 PM

Its good to meet you too. She is running the original 400 TRS's. And where she isnt great on gas she isnt that bad either. I guess at 4.30 a gallon it is just the cost of running one of these boats. And thanks the outside I think is in pretty good shape for her age. The uphostery needs some work. Just a little old and faded and cracked where the sun has gotten to her. She's a work in progress. :)
