When a boat is built out of wood in italy, the wood is a foreign commodity and appreciated for its impermanent life span. the italian shipwrights build their boats with precision, strength and especially heavily built, if not over built.. Chris-craft's boat lines included the runabouts, utilities, cruisers, and sea skiffs. the founders sold the company in 1960, but chris-craft continued building wooden boats until 1972. the company is still around today, building boats made of fiberglass. view chris-craft boats for sale
