"The must-have book features photos of more than 200 boats from
never-before-published archival images to great color photos of
collector and new boats as well as plans and ephemera from
Chris-Craft's own collection. . . You may own one already or merely
dream of doing so, but either way, this book is a worthy way to
immerse yourself in the world of this iconic American brand."

"Timeless Beauty... Whether it's a beautiful varnished mahogany
runabout cutting across a glassy lake or a sleek center console
taking on a tumultuous inlet, Chris-Craft boats have an
unmistakable look and impeccable style, in large part because the
builder has been refining its designs for 144 years. The history of
this iconic builder is chronicled in the pages of Nick Voulgaris
III's Chris-Craft Boats: An American Classic. The 224-page story
starts in Algonac, Michigan, in 1874, when Chris Smith built his
first wooden boat at age 13. The rest of the Chris-Craft story
spans world wars, economic crises and political upheavals, and
includes photographs of hundreds of models produced by the company
over the decades. The stunning photography in this hardcover
edition makes this book an excellent addition to any coffee
table."
