My "model" Chris Craft
Seeing Charlie Berry's post below, prompted me to post pics of the replica I had made of my 1950 Chris Craft U22 Sportsman by Bill Norby in California. With the boating season so short in Minnesota, I wanted the ability to gaze at my boat in my family room while the 1:1 was in storage. He did a fabulous job right down to the ladder on the back and the trailer underneath!

Absolutely beautiful. VERY Expensive, but the kind of hand work into these from Mr Norby makes the price understandable. Except the part about how i could never afford one...

Love this CHRIS! My first boat was a mahogany runabout which looked very similar to yours 1960 18' with a 283. Ski pole just aft of the front bench seat.
