1. Is there a limit to the speed these boats can handle safely?
2. Currently I have twin 225 Mercs and I'm having to have the transome replaced due to rot. I've asked the guys who are replacing the transom to reinforce it so that I can put triple 300's. My goal is to make this a 100 MPH BOAT!
Is that possible or am I just dreaming?
3. I want to remove the anti-fouling paint ( multiple layers) and want the smooth bottom. Any advice?
4. Will parts off of a 260 Stinger fit a 314 (use as a parts boat)?
5. The cabin access top (deck) hatch (2) is that a standard size(for the 260, 314, 312)?
6. Can the gas tank be enlarged to hold 200 gallons (to accomadate the 3rd engine)?
7. The windshield, is it a special made glass or is it regular glass?
8. While sanding the transome the first time I found a red layer of gelcoat. Could this be the original color of the boat? Or is that like the base coat?
9. Is there anywhere where someone can see the blue prints for these boats? And does Chris Craft now provide any info about the old stingers?
