Classic Chris Craft

[mjcmt]

I've always loved this 50's speed boat.

It's a dream to own one.

Yes they are great boats. I'm pretty sure it's from the 1950s. Very collectable. I've dreamed of owning one for 30 years.

I know this is a B&W forum but I can't resist posting a color version showing the beautiful mahagany finish.

Not uncommon to see these in the Lake St. Clair/St. Clair River areas . The original Chris Craft plant was located in Algonac , Michigan on the St. Clair River . Drive by it quite often.

I waterskied behind one once or twice. Even helped polish one. The Mahogany sure shined.

The color shot does bring us back to the days when wooden boats were common.

Color better - it's the wood and color that made the Chris Craft look like one.

Wonderful shots of a classic boat! From a time when a nice afternoon on the lake was more important than gazillion bhp speedboats.
