How many years have we pined after classic watercraft, such as the Chris-Craft boats we saw cruising around Crooked Lake every summer? Too many. To rectify the situation, my father recently decided to invest in a floating homage to days gone by--a 1957 Custom Sportsman made by Chris-Craft. It is 17 feet of old Hollywood glamour by way of custom mahogany woodworking, and I can attest that it doesn't relent on style or grace on the water. Cheers to the new and requisite addition to his water transport collection!
