- Throughout the 20th century, Chris Craft changed the boating industry forever. Join us as we follow the rise of an American company, from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of luxury boatmaking.
Just your average family doing what they love, with the people they love. Once you have everything you’ve ever wanted, what comes next? For us, it’s our Chris Craft Catalina Sedan, Stargazer.
Our goal is to completely fix up our forty-year-old boat, while making amazing memories, teaching life skills, strengthening relationships, and becoming the best people we can be along the way. All that said, we’re no experts on DIY boat repairs, so we’ll need all of the help we can get! Climb aboard and join us on the voyage, Cruiser. We’re happy to have you.

Wow! My wife and I live in New Baltimore, Michigan, just down the road and around the lake a bit from Algonac. For more than twenty years, we piloted our 32’ Marinette Fly Bridge Sedan named (wait for it).. Stargazer! We chose the name because our big all-around windows let us see the wise expanse of the sky while anchored out on Lake St. Clair. But we got a kick out of learning there’s a fish called the stargazer that can build an electric charge behind it’s eyes and shoot an electric shock from them to paralyze its prey!
I love that you shared your story with us. Thank you for watching.
Grew up on two of.them.......both 50 footers......blast watching my dad water ski behind them on Lake Pepin.....
That's fun, thank you for reminding me of my father and I on the water too. Please keep watching.
I love my 23 Chris craft scorpion....bought it new in 86.....it's a 87 model year....its as much a part of our family as the 5 kids.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memory. It means a lot.
In 1977, returning from overseas orders (Australia), A friend talked me into going in with him on the restoration on a 31ft CrisCraft plane rearming boat. That took us nearly a year but was worth every busted knuckle!
We truly believe if you have never varnished 2 miles of mahogany with someone you have not lived! Thank you for sharing. Welcome to the crew.
Great Video several years ago i restored a 1964 Wood Constellation by ChrisCraft it was a lot of fun not that great of a financial investment but completely worth the effort and the Money IMO as I tell my freinds when they ask Boating in General isnt a good financial Investment on your bank account but a great investment on fun and Memories including that mentioned boat ive owned 16 or 17 other boats through out my life my first i bought before a car ! As i graduated high Scholl in South Florida and was a Avid Scuba Diver at 16 years old
Awesome historical video, thank you
Thank you for watching.
When I was in the Air Force stationed at a Tyndall AFB, Fl. In 1973, I bought a 1946 Chris Craft 26 ft. Cruiser. It was a double planked bottom with a lapstrake planked topsides. It had flat head six engine in it. I restored it. Took me many months. Then I was on deployment to another base, and for some unknown reason, it sunk at the dock. I ended us selling it to someone for a dollar (it was still sitting on the bottom). He refloated it, but since I was reassigned to a base in Alaska, I do not know what happened to it.
My Dad worked for Trojan Boat company when he got back from the Army in WWII. They were also one of the famous boatbuilders in the 1940’s through the 1990’s
Thank you so much for sharing--we have nothing but respect for Trojan, and we thank you both for your service! Let us know if you have any thoughts or suggestions for future videos, we'd love to hear from you.
Nice video. I like your enthusiasm about "das boot". Keep em coming....
Can’t wait for more!!
In the 70s my sweet mom worked for Rodi Boat company in Chicago. Chris Craft were sold there A dream boat for sure.
Thank you for sharing your memory with us.
The Mohogany Chris crafts are the true luxury I was a previous proud owner of a family inherited 59 craft!!! As well as my 56 Wolfsburg edition Volkswagen But unfortunately al was lost in “ PARADISE” I was one whom had resided in paradise Ca. When the fire struck... still kinda weird how a steel bridge fully melts but the trees just not even20 yards away are perfectly fine and no welting on the leaves!!
Thanks for watching, and for sharing! You're right--the old mahogany Chris Crafts were works of art. We're so sorry that happened to you.
Lot of them were built in Holland Michigan.
That is where Star Gazer was born 1.31.1980. Thank you for watching.
I worked at the Chris Craft plant in Oakland Ca , on Hegenber Ln in 1963 . If I remember right we had four productions lines with one of them being a sailboat .
Mr. C, I believe you are right. I am under the understanding that the company made sailboats from 1962 - 1970. In '63 that maybe the Sail Yacht... cool boat. You are lucky my friend. Thank you for adding to the history. Please keep sharing with us.
I had a 59 31ft Chris in the Puget sound great memorys
Dave, thank you for sharing your memory with us. We will honor It. It makes us very happy to hear. Please keep sharing.
