Hull numbers include a code that is the labelled as "hull number" which I read a the number of hulls built. I'm not 100% sure that this is number of hulls built for a particular model, but I believe it is. On my website, the Stinger registry has two hull numbers for 415s - according to the hull numbers there were at least 119 415s built? Also interesting is it looks like the 415s may have been built in two of Chris Craft's plants - one in Bellingham, WA and one in Sarasota (Bradenton), FL.

The 415 I recently purchased was built in WA.
I was curious about production numbers, because I have never seen one out on the water. Also very little info about them on the web.
I was curious what power upgrades folks were doing and the speeds they were achieving.
The plan is to supercharge a couple of HP500's and see what we end up with. Hopefully the Trannies and TRS's can handle that kind of power.

Kreed,
I have heard that it is, but I do not know for a fact. It's got to be heavier than a 40' Excalibur, though.
The title lists it as almost 13,000 lbs.

I don't think it's the Excalibur hull - I believe the 390x was built off of the 40' Excalibur hull. The 390x has an 8' beam. The 415 has a 9' beam. Also, the 390x has no port-holes in the hull where the 415 does.

FWIW, The hull bottom (length, deadrise and strakes) on the 415 was the same as the 39. When I had Manning Trailers in Michigan build the trailer for mine in 1997 that is what they found after taking the dimensions from the bottom of my 415 and comparing to their prints on the 39.
They built the trailer to the 39 specs and it fit like a glove. I'll pull some old photo's and see where the boat was the widest.
