'86 is now "classic"?

wow.

i will say my 83 ChrisCraft scorpion is a tough little boat, it was
well taken care of when I got it last year, and it's always on the
trailer when not in use. I mean, I don't park it in a slip to sit most
of the summer. But that boat is SOLID! and even though it needs some
wax, the gelcoat is still in great shape.

I've had three boats in my live, a 14 ft Jon boat which doesn't count.
a '64 Chris Craft Cavalier (wood) and this Scorpion.

I'm not saying there's not other quality brands out there, but If I get
another boat, it will probably be another Chris.

BUT!
Anyhow. I always looked at multiple engines was there is two of
everything.

Two engines, two outdrives, double the consumption, and could be twice
the head aches.

YMMV
