I have just purchased a 1987 Chris Craft Fittapaldi Stinger with no owners manuel. Does any know where the best place is to find the manuels on this boat? Any help is much appreciated for a Rookie "GO Fast" boat owner.

Welcome to the club. I have a good shop book for the engines and drives. But no accesory info. I have GM/OMC 350s and King Cobra outdrives. Mine is an 87 Stinger 260. As you will pick up quickly by being a Chris Craft owner, the company changed hands a couple times. Some lit from the OMC era is hard to come by. There's another thread on this subject about a week ago.

I have been looking for about a year now. Let me know if you have better luck than I did. The kid that owned my boat was a hacker...The dock light wireing was used for the front speakers. If I find anything I'll let you know, I'm going to the Dania Marine Swap meet in a few weeks and will be looking.

Hey Island Time,
I couldn't PM you, but maybe you will see this post.

I found this post by Wally from the past. I'm not sure if you can use it, but I have been on the lookout ever since that thread on the subject.
