"Without a Chris-Craft, life at a shore resort or summer house cannot be called living" Chris-Craft ad copy

The compelling story of a man, his company, and his boats, this history explores the legacy of Christopher Columbus Smith, the country's most innovative and successful production boat builder. Chris-Craft describes how Smith, together with his sons and employees, designed a mass-production system that would make boat ownership a reality for countless families throughout North America and overseas

This is the story of the pleasure boats that captured the hearts of boat buyers who appreciated beauty as much as function. Illustrated with historic museum photos, this book will appeal to boat enthusiasts who are just as interested in the intriguing history of the Chris-Craft as in the boat itself. Hardbound with 122 pages. 11" x 8.5"
