    Definitely pics of the largest CC. I loaned out my Essential Guide so I can’t even look it up. Considering the board feet used in the largest CC how many 17′ Sportsmen can you make?

      Rick, according to the Essential Guide, the largest Chris-Craft ever built would be a 74′ Motor Yacht out of the Roamer Divison. The largest mahogany Chris-Craft appears to be the 1960-61 Constellation at 66′.

        Well then the other question would be how many Red Solo Cups could you make out of the plastic one? Wait Roamer was metal? Oh, well, here’s a link to the Toby Keith song anyway because I just like it.

        John, Didn’t know we were allowed to use the word”Roamer” on Woody Boater URL. I think I remember some Roamers stretched to 78 and 82′.

        True the longest Chris in wood was built in 1961, she is “Teco II” here in Seattle. the largest gross tonnage in wood is “High Seas” also in Seattle. Teco II is 42 tons, but becuase of engines, tankage and width, High Seas is 48 tons.

    Missing the ability to click on an image and see a larger picture. It would be great to see all the detail in these beautiful shots.

      The online store and photo enlargement capability are only available with the Premium WoodyBoater Package. It’s bundled together with a personal visit from Matt for dinner.

    For those of you interested, here is the Betty J, our 11 inch skiff. Made by Suzys great uncle back in the 60’s we found it in the woods. Of course it would have been cheaper to build one. But NOOOOOO! That is the boatress almost 8 years ago and her mother out on Hull Creek VA. She loves to take it out fishing and crabing. The way it works, is you you pole it around the edge of the creek and scoop crabs from dead tree limbs. She can catch up to 50 or so a weekend that way..
