Chris Scorpion 260

1985 Chris Scorpion 260 with small blocks Chevy's and Alphas, boat actually measures about 29 feet or so and is pretty big for a 26 footer. I have had it for about 3 years and have continually improved on it since day one. when i got it it had one fresh motor and I replaced the other one after the first summer i had it (one has about 150hrs and the other about 200hrs). when I did that motor I also put on aluminum intakes, rebuilt trim pumps, put on stainless risers and silent choice. boat runs really well and the best speed I have seen so far has been 60.9mph. cruises pretty effortlessly at 50 all day long. i also had the cockpit interior re-done when I first got it and it is still in very good shape. the cabin interior is original but in good shape as well. some other improvements I have made are paint, new rigid vinyl rub rail, Gaffrig shifters, new Teleflex Extreme control cables, up-dated the shift cut-out switches to the new style, new drive seals and bellows, also added Hummingbird Matrix fish finder/gps. the boat sits on a steel trailer that was made by a local welder/fab guy and is also in great shape. i restored that as well with new fenders, bearings, lighting, tires, paint , etc . . . this boat has served me very well since i have owned it and I hate to see it go but I am in the middle of a deal on a 38 Scarab so its time to move up.

a few things to note

canvas could stand to be re-done

boat does have some stress cracks on deck here and there

tie bar is mild steel would be nicer to have stainless

lid to pump out head has a crack in it (I've never used it though)

carpet in footwell is not glued down, stringers can easily be inspected.

GPS shown on dash goes with boat so does stereo (Kenwood)
