Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Magnificent mahogany-hulled runabouts with growling inboard engines deliver high-speed thrills as they slice the waves! This fabulous color volume examines the engines, hull development and styling of Chris-Craft, Gar Wood, Lyman, Century Dodge, Sea-Lyon, and Hackercraft runabouts.

In the Enthusiast Color Series. Tony previously co-authored Chris-Craft 1922-1972 (0-7603-0920-5).
