CHRIS CRAFT BARREL BACK

 

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. The iconic custom runabout was produced from 1939 to 1942, with a total of 433 hulls. They represented the highest level of craftsmanship Chris Craft ever offered because it required skilled craftsmen to produce the full half circle transom shape.

This 1:8 scale barrel back model accurately represents one of the most highly desirable of the famed Chris-Crafts.  It features:  

-
Plank-on-frame construction  

-
Heartwood Honduras Mahogany

-
Made of real individual planks, not vinyl on cheap wood below the surface as numerous models that are priced under $1,000 all over the Internet.   

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