    How was chris craft quality in the 90s?

    Hi all. I recently bought a 96 chris craft concept 21 br. I can't seem to get a solid bead on how well these boats were made in that era. Any expertise/knowledge of the quality during this time vs years past? Were they cutting corners? Is there wood in the design or all glass? Thanks. Broater

    Are chris crafts of the 90s as well built as the name implies?

I hit it so hard, I thought I had certainly punctured a hole in the hull and was gonna start sinking. I then quickly sped...

    Is my boat trailered correctly?

    Hi all. First off, let me say this is a wonderful forum! I'm brand new to boating and am not sure if my boat is trailered properly. My keel is sitting hard on the bow cradle and I'm wondering if this is how it's supposed to be? There is some shaved material that looks like it came from the...

    Bow Keel rides on crossbar plastic

    I just bought my first boat, a 96 21' Chris Craft Concept. The dealer set me up with a road king tandem axle rear bunk trailer. I put the boat in the water and got it home OK, but upon inspection I noticed the bow keel is sitting squarely on the so called "bow cradle" (per road king's website)...
