Brawny inboard motors, lovingly crafted wood hulls, and swank chrome accoutrements are all synonymous with Chris-Craft, the most prestigious name in the history of American boatbuilders. This beautifully illustrated history of the Michigan-based company and its most significant powerboats begins in 1922, when the mercurial Christopher Columbus Smith and his three sons formed Chris Smith & Sons Boat Company. Modern color photography depicting restored and factory-original runabouts and cruisers at speed and dockside details the evolution of Chris-Craft boats from the early hand-built years through the introduction of assembly-line techniques, the move to fiberglass hulls and Chris-Craft's demise in the 1980s. Archival photography provides an evocative historical context and images of key personalities, while the history also discusses the business climates in which Chris-Craft operated-including a tenuous alliance with Gar Wood-who split from the Smiths to form his own acclaimed boatworks-and concurrent products introduced by Gar Wood and other competitors.

History of Chris Craft

A well written and informative book on the early years of Chris Craft through the sale of the Company by the family. This is a great Wood boat reference not much Fiberglass information within. A great coffee table book.


Unhappy with Amazon!

The book is fine, however I'm not impressed with Amazon at all. I ordered two books, but after 5 weeks of waiting, I've only received one of them. Service is much to slow!

In addition, Amazon did not send my book via United Parcel Service like they said they would. Instead it came via the US mail, and the box was badly mangled and damaged. Also, since the box did not fit in my mailbox, I had to make an extra trip to the post office to pick up my item.

I'D MUCH RATHER THAT AMAZON HAD SHIPPED VIA UPS! THEIR SERVICE IS MUCH QUICKER AND MORE PROFESSIONAL. IN ADDITION, UPS WOULD HAVE DELIVERED THE ITEM TO MY HOUSE, INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO MAKE A LONG TRIP TO THE POST OFFICE.

I think that Amazon should review their service in regards to timely and better shipping. Waiting over 5 weeks on an item is unsatisfactory!
