FREE Chris Craft Stinger Race Boat | The Tear Down Begins

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

This Chris Craft Stinger 222 Race Boat was abandoned and left sitting outside for more than 24 years! I was able to get it for free, and instead of letting it head to the scrapyard, I’m starting the process of bringing this race boat legend back to life.

The Stinger is one of the most important boats in offshore racing history — it helped save Chris Craft during tough times in the 1980s. This episode kicks off the rescue: cleaning, uncovering the damage, and beginning the long journey of restoration.

If you enjoy classic boat rescues, restorations, and marine history, stick around — this Stinger’s story is just getting started.

Buy me a gallon of gas :D
