Production model
Custom Runabout
Built by Chris-Craft
The step up from the Deluxe: better hardware, more brightwork and a higher price when new. The 1939 to 1942 boats are the barrel-backs, with the rounded stern that is the single most sought-after shape the company ever built.
What building a Custom Runabout 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.
