Another stain question

Post by 4130Sedan » Sun Apr 16, 2023 4:00 pm

I'm new to this board and Chris Craft. I just purchased a 1941 Sedan 30-foot #29500. I read many pages regarding mahogany stain for both pre and post-war yet I'm unsure if a craft delivered in August 1941 qualifies as pre or post-war. Thanks for reading. Jason

Your boat would be a pre-war boat. Here is a video I did about staining a pre-war Chris Craft if you have any questions let us know. https://youtu.be/92LepvReAtw
