“Re: mahogany boats:
No, but they build all fiberglass boats (no wood stringers) that look like the old wood boats. They are real eye catching boats.”

Yeh, out of curiosity I went to their website to see what their product mix is. And, you’re right, fiberglass hulls with some wood trim. Btw, full disclosure; I was incorrect when stated mahagony. Actually teak is what’s used. Side note; there are custom builders that make the old-school retro wooden boats, barrel backs and such. But, they’re uber expensive.

Yes, there are several on Lake George. You see them cruising us and down the Lake. As for Chris Craft, it has had so many iterations as a company. I hope the new owners keep this one. The boats are high quality and a pleasure to drive and ride in. They are out of my price range new and a stretch used.
