Maybe Mark at Tuff Marine can help you out with some history on this boat. There were lots of 21 Scorpions around and he is familiar with them.

I own a Marine Supply Shop in Ontario Canada and one of my customers said that Chris Craft licensed a builder in Canada to build in the mid eighties.
He was suggesting that its an early Chris Craft. I'm more curious now than ever. It seems to be an odd ball?

So when you came upon your new barn find, was it pre-conditioned for it's long, long nap?......any old gas in the tank, that sort of thing?
I know the joy of a barn find..........my 1982 35' Cigarette was re-rigged and customized in '96 covered & stored away in a building until
I found her in 2016........reason I ask is, mine was never prepped for it's long nap.....1/4 tank of fuel was molasses!
