Heres my 390 Scorpion, I really enjoy it hope you all do as well. Will get some more pictures when I can. Thanks for looking.

Hello all. My name is Tom and I am the proud owner of a very gently used and well taken care of Stinger 260. I used to own a Scorpion 210 years ago and missed it but finally got my offshore I have been pineing over for some time. It's still not a Stinger 360 but I am slowly working my way up...:D

I am looking forward to getting it wet this saturday as the weatherman has promised sunny skies and 18 degrees (over 60 for the U.S. folks)

My new restoration - hope it gets some viewing.

Cuddy windows look like a Scorpion...

Here's my Stinger 260. It is my second boat. It rides excellent. It is very smooth even in rough water. I do not know much about the engines/drives other than both engines appear to be remanufactured. It is not amazingly fast...runs about 50 at maybe 4200 RPM on each engine. I don't want to push the engines any farther.

Just finished redoing my teak deck. I used 4 presuure treated 2x8s underneath the teak running perpendicular to the hull. Then, I used 3/4" x 3" tongue and groove teak hardwood flooring. It came out pretty decent. The teak cost me 100.00 and the pressure treated was lik 13.99. I reused a lot of stainless hardware but did have to buy some new screws...that was another 6 bucks I think. Overall dimensions were 52.5" long by 25.5" inches wide.
Cheers,
Chris

Custom 1988 Stinger 202
 

I just traded a car and an old boat i just bought for a custom Stinger 202, before yesterday I knew nothing about the Stinger. This website gave me alot of info about the boat, like they were only made until 1989. When I first saw the boat I thought it may have been a 1998 or something like that. Its the only stinger 202 I have been able to find that has a bow seat. It has custom paint, interior, 350 horse chev 5.7L that does 73mph on GPS, and a killer stereo. I'm new to the boat world, and don't think I could ever get rid of it. I've never gone that fast on water before, here are some pics of the boat and the baby baoter to be, hope you like as much as me.

I like the scheme! Nice looking boat. Congrats.
