I just love the look of these (old?) ChrisCrafts, though I bet the wood makes 'em pretty high maintenance.

Do they even still make these?

I’m not a boat guy but me too. Arent they stupidly expensive for what they are? Something rings a bell about that.

my pops had a Grand Banks. Yes wood makes for maintenance - teak wood is great but the whole boat wasn’t teak.

Awesome boat it was though.

You just made me think of a program I saw on History Channel (I think it was History) where Chris Craft uses 9mm bullet projectiles for ballast in their boats.

my son has a 39 Hackercraft runabout he wants to sell. Been in the family since the 50s and he takes it out every year on the Detroit River....Wants to get into sailing, passed all his tests from the Coast Guard...Just finished putting 2 new coats of (whatever they put on boats) maybe varnish. Runs great, if interested freepmail me.. (hope this isn’t against the rules) Built in Michigan. Real antiques that runs good
