How many of us Classic Boaters own a modern Chris-Craft??
Do you own one or know of someone who owns both a classic and a modern.
thanks

I have a lot of classics and one modern - a 2002 Harris Kayot 27' Pontoon. And a Sea Doo. Like and use both new ones, but prefer the old stuff. The neswedt glass boat I ever owned was a 1973.

Now that I've seen the 20' Chris Craft Silver Bullet, I wonder why God doesn't make fiberglass trees.

Wilson,
The Silver Bullet is an outstanding boat. My personal favorite is the Lancer GT Concept from a few years back. I never went into production, just did the show tour like SEMA, etc. It is Ferrari red with a Ferrari like camel interior and is the inspiration for my current project. You can find images if you Google it.
The CC fit and finish is truly second to none.

Re: How many of us Classic Boaters own a modern Chris-Craft?
I have to admit that I have a small Navy, but since the cottage is on an island all by itself, you sort of accumulate things that go in the water. My first boat that I bought new was a 1990 21' Chris Craft Concept 198. I still have it and LOVE it. It is an OMC 4.3L V6 that has been bulletproof reliable, sips gas, and runs 45 MPH. I just recently aquired a '56 18' Continental in probably the worst deal of the century, but once I put my retirement savings into, I will love it forever, I am sure. The other 'notable boats' are:
1963 Thompson Thomboy 16'
2013 Harris Flotebote pontoon
1979 Hobie 16
1950's? Wood Peterborough 17' runabout (rotting)
2009 Lowe 12' Jonboat
3 old aluminum row boats
1 old aluminum canoe with sailing rig
1 paddleboat

Re: How many of us Classic Boaters own a modern Chris-Craft??
I have a 1965 Custom Ski Boat that my late father and I bought in 1978. It's recently undergone a full restoration and is in great shape. But with a couple of grandkids and a desire to cruise some bigger waters, I recently purchased a 2014 Chris Craft Launch 22. Its actually 23.5 " long, and it's beautiful, soft riding and fast.
