  • I always wanted a old Chris-Craft wooden runabout, restored. Just seem to exude class.

    Bayliners are great boats.....

    I heard they’re going to put glass bottoms in all the new models......

    That way you can look at all the older models.........
  • Chris-Craft was a quality boat, I hope they don't lower the quality to compete with Bayliner.
  • De ja veux or karma - can't decide which! I was raised on a Chris-Craft cabin cruiser on the Mississippi and now own a Winnebago. LOL
  • just as long as LCI has nothing to do with supplying parts and systems.
  • Maybe the just want to get some ideas on how to build an RV that doesn't leak.
  • Ehhhhh , by the time the lawyers get done you will have 30,000 pages of warnings and disclaimers that either your Chris Craft cant handle hills, or your Winnie is not designed as a watercraft.
  • Probably for the same reason that the parent company of Polaris and Indian motorcycle bought Boat Holdings, the stock of boat companies hasn't recovered as quickly as the rest of the outdoor recreation market and they believe they can get more growth out of boats before the next crash than they can out of the primary lines.
  • I was thinking more like a Class A, B or C that you drive right into a lake or river and keep on going. Like those amphibious vehicles. A "Winnephibious".
