Summary: Very Comprehensive Overview
Review: I bought a 1963 Chris Craft Corsair and wanted to find what model the boat was. This book had my boat and also the over 700 other models produced from the beggining to the late 1970's. I was very impressed with the detail of each listing, including how many hulls built and a photo of each model.This work is a detailed and almost astounding reference work for Chris Craft and antique boat enthusiasts and will not disappoint.

Summary: The Essential "Essential" !!
Review: This is a wonderful must-have for the Chris Craft enthusiast. Mr Conrad has contributed a great asset!I have a well worn copy in my restoration shop for reviewing those exacting details and assisting customers determine 1) what boat they actually have and 2) how it was originally equipped. there is one page per boat, with one black/white exterior photo for each (and a few "photo not available"). details include length/model name, years built, quantity built, hull number ranges (by year), paint and upholstery colors, hull construction (ex: mahogany plank, plywood), engines offered, beam, weight, and more. you won't find interior photos and details of accessories. the greatest feature for me is the hull number cross-reference index: look up the length, then find the hull number series to determine on which page the boat is detailed. combine with the restoration books by trefethen (a great read!) and danenberg for a successful project.
