In 1939, Chris-Craft designed a new hull called the barrel back.  The previous models' lines of modest, slab-sided, and flat-decked utilities are replaced by the streamlined barrel backs.  Radical tumblehome and torpedo bows made the barrel backs the  most  collectable boats of all times.  This barrel back model accurately represents the most highly desirable of the famed Chris-Crafts. It features:  

- 1:8 scale

- Scratch-built from official plans.

- Plank-on-frame construction.  

- Heartwood Honduras Mahogany.  This best mahogany type is used by real boat builders.

- Deck is made of real individual thin strips of  planks, not a large piece of wood with faked lines.

- 11 layers of paint and varnish.  Each was left to dry and micro sanded before apply another layer.

- Precisely duplicates the real boat's elegantly curved hull and wealth of detailing

- Realistic gauges, switches...

- Epoxy waterproof.
