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. http://home.earthlink.net/~tomf123/P7290026.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/~tomf123/P7290042.JPG 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 |

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 |
