Production model
Barrel Back
Built by Chris-Craft
Not a separate model in the catalogues but the name every owner uses, for the Custom Runabouts of 1939 to 1942 whose topsides curve in to a rounded stern. Difficult to plank, difficult to repair, and the reason people take on a wreck.
What building a Barrel Back actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
