Excalibur Marine vs Chris Craft Stinger

Hey guys I need help in this decision making let’s say that their selling me a Chris Craft stinger and a Excalibur Marine... which brand is better in terms of hull structure. Which one back in the days was more popular, expensive and was more stable ride. Also which one is more rare and which are the problems that they where more recalled. I know Excalibur Marine hull is fiberglass as well as Stinger from Chris Craft but my question is which one has more plywood and can get more rotted in stingers or related problems. Thank you for the help... blessed day!

At this point and likely 35-40 years old, they are the same. They will both have rotten wood. If an early 1980-82,83 I would lean toward the Excalibur being a better build and more desirable... to a small few.
