Chris-Craft Boats Introduces 2014 Models in Florida

Dealers, consumers and the yachting industry press got a chance to see the new 21 Capri from Chris-Craft, as well as a hardtop version of the 36 Corsair, at the builder’s annual Chris-Craft Customer Event and Dealer Meeting in Sarasota, Florida.

“We have pretty much every new boat we’ve introduced over the past 12 months here, plus the entire product line we have introduced in the past two or three years,” Chris-Craft president Steve Heese said. “Since all the products are in the water we also invite the press.”

The dealer meeting began Sunday and wraps up Tuesday. “We’ll have about 100 dealers from around the world,” Heese said.

He reports that Chris-Craft sales have done well so far this year. “The U.S. [market] has been very strong, and that has offset weakness in Europe,” he said. “Asia, the Middle East and Australia have been very good, so all in all we’re pleased.”

Chris-Craft introduced the 21 Chris Craft Capri at the Miami International Boat Show. The 21 Capri, which uses the same hull and engine package, has a closed bow covered with a teak foredeck and a huge aft sunpad rimmed with a teak rail. The driver sits in a bucket seat that rotates 180 degrees to face aft; a small snacking table recessed in the starboard gunwale folds out for both the driver and passenger in the starboard corner of the aft seating.

Here’s a list of the boats at the event:

36 Corsair HT (hardtop); 32 Corsair; 32 Launch; 28 Corsair; 28 Launch; 25 Corsair; 25 Launch; 22 Corsair; 22 Launch; 21 Carina; 21 Capri; 29 Catalina; 26 Catalina; and 23 Catalina.

The Catlinas, which are high-end center consoles, were powered with outboards ranging from 200 to 300 hp. The remaining boats were powered with gas sterndrives. The 36 Corsair HT was powered with Volvo Penta’s new V8-430 gas sterndrives in a twin application.
