21' Chris Craft Stinger...(pics)

I'm getting the bug again. I had a 1976 Slickcraft 17' ski boat with a Merc 302 I/O. I loved that little boat. But floor rot forced me to sell to someone who had the brain cells and time to fix it.

Anyway, I love speed boats. My fiance' loves going slow.

What do you guys think of this boat? I've been searching and haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on it.

Anyone have info on this model boat? I've asked the seller for more info and pictures. Here's what he's sent me so far.

The add:

And two pictures he sent me. I asked for a lot more.

Just want some opinions,
Thanks,
Steve

Very sharp looking boat.The steering wheel in the center is kinda cool..
Have it checked over and if the price is right go for it!

I agree that it is very sharp, heck the pastel fork truck is cute too but it looks cramped ? Nice sun deck on the other hand, get some hot babes up there and away ya go.

Is that 205 horse a 6 or 8 ?

Not sure if it's a 6 or 8. I'm hoping it's an 8. I too wonder if it's cramped. I wonder what's under the bow. I'm sure there's something under there. Even just room for storage would help.

As for the girls, I think I'll have to run that one by the fiance'.

Dang, finally found out it only holds 3 people. That's too bad. It's a really nice looking boat!

Oh well...

Sharp looking but need a shoe horn to get in and out.

Couldn't imagine driving that boat without thru hulls

I love closed bows. But it needs to hold more than 3 people.

I found a marina that has a lot of used boats about an hour away from me. He's got an early 90's Chris Craft Concept 18ft for under $9000 w/trailer. I'm also going to check out everything else he's got.

Is this the right forum to post questions about boats to purchase? This is a great place to get opinions from experienced people.
