Default Help identifying model for Chris Craft...

Hi folks,

I'm looking to ID this Chris Craft boat. It is twenty feet
long, has a Buick V6 and the older style outdrive. It is
a project boat for me, but I'd like to identify the model
if at all possible. The pictures are on my web site.

There are no other id's on the boat other than the
Chris*Craft script on the dash - no data plate, no
serial number, no nuttin'.

These boats were in a barn (the Glastron is junk,
but the engine looks brand new with new risers, the
engine block has great compression and the wiring
is new - go figure. As I sold my last project boat,
I purchased these two boats for the exact sum and
total of "You get them out of here, they are yours"
so the Chris Craft will be worth the time and effort.

And help with the id on the blue/white boat, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Tom

The CC Looks like a 1960's Sea Skiff.

What a great find! I'm envious.

My guess, since it's a lapstrake hull, is also Sea Skiff. But that's just

a
guess. I think Chris-Craft typically stamped the hull ID number into the
side of one of the stringers. You might want to stand on your head in the
bilge with a flashlight in hand and take a look there. Look for a mixture
of letters and numbers about 3/8" to 1/2" in height. Good luck!


Great!! Thanks for the info.

It looks to be a great restoration candidate, or even a conversion
to a opencockpit sports fisherman.

It is a great find - usually I'm talking to others who have found
something like this.

Thanks again.

Tom
