WOW, Ive seen the ad for this boat before but I've never seen an actual one for sale. Here is a thread I started about it years ago. What is the asking price?

$29,995.

Thanks for sharing the original thread you posted.
I had heard that they only made several hulls in the 312 Comp and the one in the flyer looks like it could be this boat.

3 original owners, west coast boat.
The current owner passed away and it is available.

How long has boat been sitting?
Many times not getting used enough can be as expensive as too much use.

That boat is sick... 30K seems reasonable if the motors are anywhere close to what's advertised.

As an FYI those Gil manifolds are known for rusting from the inside. I would pressure check them OFF the engines before even trying to start those motors. KOOL boat..

The boat has been out of service for 1 summer. It is currently winterized.

The boat runs up close to 90 mph.

Beautiful boat - it's actually a Stinger, not a Scorpion. Not very many made, in fact this is the only one I'm aware of that's in existence (and I've documented 500+ Stingers on my website). Chris Craft also made a 390 Stinger Competition as well, but I've never seen one of those.
