What permittes are you talking about? and i assume the licensed means trailer plates for the right weight

That's not a 415. Chris Craft never made a Stinger with that windscreen. There is going to be a problem. I emailed the guy and he says his title says it's Chris Craft. I would double check the hull numbers and make sure it matches his title. It looks to me to be a Formula 382 SR-1. That exhaust setup is a patented Formula deal. That boat doesn't have a 9' beam like a Stinger should. The Formula is worth more. If you can get it titled right I'd go for it.

TomZ should have the weight and size specs for that year on a brochure I recently gave him when I sold him my 222 Stinger. Drop him a PM if you still want the info.

The boat with the big "stinger" name down the side looks like an older model from Formula/Thunderbird to me based on the built-in rectangular exhaust outlets (aka silent thunder exhaust), windshield profile and dash layout.

I also concur with dinger. The questionable one does NOT have a dash that I've ever seen on a Stinger.

In 1987 Chris Craft made a 42' Catalina with a 15' beam and gross weight of 30,000 lbs.* It sounds like the number he gave you is from the title to a Catalina.

you are dead on..............I looked at this boat two years ago and i asked the guy if it was a formula he said no " its a cigarette" Then i knew he did not know sheet.............The guys own a boat junk yard in monroe mi....The boat has been there for 3 years or longer.....It is not bad looking for the right money it would be a nice ride

Permits would be for an oversized load. Too wide. Fairly cheap in Michigan and easy to get. If way wide, like Hotrodders Cary, other vehicles front and rear and they give you the route to follow.

After reading the other responses, I think they are right. The transom looks like a Formula and the curved windshield also. There is a 42 Chris (415) in the classifieds you can look at. Maybe the guys on the Formula board can figure it out if you ask over there. I don't know what year or model it is.
