Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Chris-Craft is a name synonymous with classic wooden powerboats. Founded in 1922 with a simple idea--to deliver the joys of powerboating to the middle class by building standardized runabouts--Chris-Craft grew to be a world-renowned maker of quality mahogany pleasurecraft. Chris-Craft is a rich, colorful history of the powerboats that popularized boating, and all the great boats of Chris-Craft are covered, including:

Runabouts, including the famous barrelbacks
Utilities such as the Sportsman and Holiday
The unique Cobras and Silver Arrows
Constellations and other Cruisers
Sea Skiffs, Cavaliers, and Roamers



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - very pleased
Out of all the works on classic watercraft I have purchased, this is my favorite. Savage displays the Chris-Craft runabouts and utilities not usually seen in the other books (e.g., an inspiring '53 18' Sportsman). Very good in concept, design and execution, this read won't have you guessing as to what your next favorite antique and classic Chris-Craft will be.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Photos lots of models
Compared to the Rodengen Legend of CC book this one has a great variety of pictures of many models. Even Kit boats. Its not as big but then again not as expensive either. I am very happy to have another excellent CC book for the coffee table of my boat.
