History of Chris Craft Scorpion and Stinger

[Yooper78]

Does anyone know the history of Chirs Craft Scorpions and Stingers? Searching ebay I found this auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320428434804&viewitem=) interesting which states "former class winner on the offshore circuit ocean commotion, this is a real scorpion not a chris craft, built by scorpion boat builders, built tough, boat should run in the low 80s" There were some stingers around when I was younger that were nice looking fast boats -- I always thought of stinger and scorpion as chris craft models and didn't realize that scorpion was prior a boat company on their own that was bought? Would be interested in hearing or reading any history if anyone knows or has some good links.

Yooper - I think you didn't get a reply because you have some bad information. I think that Scorpion 38 you linked to was built by Scorpion boats in Miami Florida after Chris Craft had been building their scorpion model name for some time. I think Scorpion built a 32 and a 38, more of a low volume custom builder.
