TOPIC: If you could have any runabout...

What would it be?

For me, it would have to be the Century Coronado. That is simply the coolest boat ever, as far as I'm concerned. It's a toss up between a 59 and a 67 though.

well todd, it would be the boat that my oldest brother built in 1962. it was a glen-l design called the flying saucer. it had a 1961 merc 400 on it and i was 9 years old and it was the best boat ever. my brother was 20 years older then me, and was my hero and best friend, and riding in that boat ment alot to me. he passed away in 2010. i have a few pic,s of the boat, and sure brings back memories of years gone by. frog sorry this is fuzzy, but i took a pic of a pic as i can not run my scanner very well. and that is my nephew. frog

I think after we lose a loved one, some of those things we remembered using with them become important touch stones to the memories.

It's a toss up between any of the late 40's to early 50 Century Seamaid or same era Chris Craft Riviera.

NO QUESTION in my mind. - the 1957 YELLOWJACKET, which my dad gave me for Christmas, when i was 14YO.

I'd have to go for a Chris Craft Cobra... Always loved those.

a CustomCraft DeltaRay cat hardtop...although i don't know if they were ever produced. bruce gerards hardtop would be a nice substitute.

Been pounding the surf for years looking, but no luck. Would be great to find one soon to justify renting a shop.

South Seas Samoan, likin' this blue one a lot!

I have to confess that my 59 Glastron Seaflite hardtop was at the top of my list. I would have to say the Chris Craft Silver Arrow would be right up there. For a woodie, a Gar Wood triple cockpit.

Hey Ron, there's one better. In the catalogs there is a photo of a CC Delta Ray Express Cruiser, so at least one was made. That is on my list as well.
