What about this?

Please post some pics.
I love that boat

I am trying to restore a similar one.

I am still prepping to pick her up and bring her home.

I have a couple of questions...

1 the Speed-O says 60 ... I gather the top speed is around 50-60mph ...what is the typical cruising (on plane speed for these boats?
2 with the twin engines about how many hours of cruising do you guys get on average?

I know wind water conditions and every boat will vary. I just am looking for a feel for what you guys have gotten with yours.

2 hours vs. 10 hours is a big difference

My Stinger runs 57, and cruises at 40.
Bone stock 260's

how large is your tank and about how many hours can you run on a tank?

136 gallons.
No clue on how many hours per tank - but a ROUGH guess is 22-24 gallons per hour @ 40 based on poker runs...which is never a steady cruise speed.

she's a nice looking ride (far better shape than mine.
looks to be mid to late eighty's(?)

That looks to be in the ballpark, my guestimates have been based on. 4-6 hours of play time.

It's a 1988.
We have a lot of fun with it.
As Glassdave says, they are big boats for being only 26' long.

Han Tunca's website www.chriscraftstingers.com has a wealth of information.
Great website.

I have been there, and exchanged emails with him.

Sadly my boat though a Stinger style is not allowed because of the lacking of badging.
Mine was born just before the stinger name .. Although the Excalibers are included.

Non the less it is a great website
