Searching for Long Lost Chris Craft

Hello -

* Dad sold the C*C * - funny you should give me that link. I actually talked to them a couple of weeks ago asking for the hull number on that boat, just in case someone has mistaken the year. The guy at Irwin was so cool. Checked it for me. I told him why I was asking- and he was able to go back to their records and found the actual bill of sale from when my grandfather bought the boat from Irwin and had traded in a Penn Yan for it.

I 'll have to go out and get that Reall Runabouts III book. Hadn't seen that one yet.

Pic of the boat from 1957 with my dad driving and my mom and their friends in the back. I have about 8 pics of the boat. This is the best one.

That's a great picture. I hope your luck continues and you can track the boat down.
