From rowboats to the fastest speedboats on earth, from the first combat landing crafts ashore at Normandy to the most coveted family cruisers, from kit boats to sailboats, and from mahogany, aluminum and steel to fiberglass, Chris-Craft pioneered styling and utility in boat-building that has been imitated throughout the maritime world.
