Can anyone help identify this Chris Craft?

[old boat NC]

Hi:

I was wondering if anyone could help me identify a Chris Craft my neighbor has in his barn. I?m trying to find the model and approximate year.

I am attaching a few not so great photos? sorry!

Thanks VERY MUCH!
-John

Hey John..

This should help: http://www.classicboat.com/identify-your-chris-craft.htm

Looks like with a little cleaning that'd be a pretty sharp looking boat.

Tell him it's a fake and offer him 500 bucks to get it out of his shed....

chris craft made a zillion different models but man....that thing looks awful close to my uncles chris craft holiday 19 they were made from 1951 - 1954...the only difference i see that is obvious is his has full bench seat in the front vs the two buckets in that one...usually theres a number plate in the back of the hull that says a model. his is like H - 19 - 075 H = holiday , 19 = length , 75 = production number.


has has a bunch of chris crafts and is very knowledgable...heres his add he's actually trying to sell his holiday...you can compare pictures and features to the one in that garage

also that link above that another guy posted only shows runabouts and racing boats....i believe that one is considered a utility boat so it wont list it on there...

to be honest, other than the bow, i see nothing to convince me it is an actual CC. could be a correct craft.
