Production model
Deluxe Runabout
Built by Chris-Craft
The mainstream varnished runabout of the postwar years, built in 17, 19, 22 and 25 foot versions depending on the season. Forward cockpit, engine box amidships, aft cockpit behind it, and the bright finish the marque is known for. One of the commonest Chris-Crafts to find and one of the most rewarding to put right.
What building a Deluxe 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.
What each job takes
Hours summed per builder, then the median taken across builders, so someone who logs a step in fourteen short entries doesn’t outweigh someone who logged it in one. Example logs are excluded.
