Need assistance finding Chris Craft like boat

[Michael La Fave]

Hello.

I'm a writer for a Canadian men's lifestyle magazine called Sharp (http://www.sharpformen.com).

We're working on a story about old world style and I'd like to include something about a new boat that's crafted like those old dual cockpit Chris Crafts.

Doesn anyone know the name of a company producing that kind of boat? I've been to CC's website and their new boats aren't really what we had in mind.

I'm sure I've seen ads in Robb Report for the type of thing I've got in mind.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Regards,

Michael La Fave

Thanks. That's pretty cool.

Are there any companies that are building more of a replica of the old wooden powerboats? Maybe even a glass boat but with wood decking?

Pick up a copy of woodenBoat. I bet they have builders advertising in there. If you email the magazine they may even be abel to give you the names of some builders.
