1954 CHRIS-CRAFT KIT BOAT

1954 Chris-Craft kit boat When Chris-Craft began using plywood in construction of their traditional boats, they found they had quite a bit of scrap left over. Someone came up with the idea of offering kit boats for owners to build themselves. Chris-Craft provided all the pieces, just like building a model airplane, but full size. We still get calls occasionally, someone has an unbuilt kit in their garage rafters, maybe guys' eyes were bigger than their skills or time allowed.
