Description
Black and white 7 1/2″ x 11″ ad that announces the New 1958 Chris-Craft Sea Skiffs. The ad has pictured three of these boats; an action-packed 40-ft Semi-Enclosed Cruiser, a 30-ft Semi-Enclosed Cruiser and a 26-ft Fisherman. The ad says that this will give you “Round-bilge boating at its best with a bonus of lapstroke strength and performance and modest Chris-Craft price tags (from just $2660)”. Then the ad says that “For quality, performance and value, you dollar goes further when you buy a Chris-Craft Sea Skiff. And there’s a greater return on you investment should you sell. Here’s why. Fast, dry seaworthy performance. Exceptional maneuverability and handling ease. Exclusive Chris-Craft Sea Skiff Scaler in seams and joints…dependable worm-and-pinion, rod-to-rudder steering…skeg to protect bottom…fuel tank vented overboard…greater speeds – all incorporated in a round-bridge, lap-stroke design with sturdy, double-strength construction where it counts for lasting confidence afloat. Prices may never again be as modest, so buy now.” There is a chart that gives the model size, speeds to and the priced from.
