SARASOTA, Fla. (February 9, 2010) – Chris-Craft Corporation, a leading manufacturer of premium quality boats and motor yachts, announces the unveiling of 2 new and 3 completely redesigned models at the Miami International Boat Show. Chris-Craft will be showing a total of 12 boats at booth C-45 at the Miami Beach Convention Center February 11-15.

Chris-Craft is famous to those in the marine industry for designing state-of-the-art boats for every purpose. When a consumer thinks of a Chris-Craft, they envision the company’s trademark teak wood, stainless steel fittings and attention to every single detail. These are what make Chris-Craft the sleekest and most desirable craft on the water. With our newest models, Chris-Craft has again raised the bar and set a new standard in design and performance.

The new Launch 20 and Launch GT represent Chris-Craft’s most recent entries into the bow rider market with a style made for speed, water sports and for relaxing on the water. Incorporating such conveniences as built-in floor cooler storage, our exclusive telescoping water sports pylon, and built-in storage throughout ensures that this boat can be enjoyed in a variety of settings. These models also boast all the beautiful and traditional design features of Chris-Craft’s other models.

Our very successful Corsair 25 and Corsair 28 cuddy cabin models will be presented with a whole new emphasis on lavish design. First introduced 9 years ago, these models have been refreshed and refined to become THE fun weekend runabout for 2010. Boasting additional teak surfaces on the front desk and motor hatch areas, and full u-shaped aft cockpit seating this craft provides the cruising family plenty of lounging options. The cuddy cabin entrance has been improved with larger openings, teak-louvered doors, and a flip-up hatch on self-supporting hinges to add headroom at the entrance. The interior of the cabin has also been updated with a new flush glass vent hatch that provides plenty of additional natural light and cabin ventilation. All new fabrics and additional wood accents round out the cabin’s upscale improvements.

Our Launch 28 bow rider model represents truly innovative thinking in redesigning another very successful Chris-Craft model. This model represents the best of luxury and style in a large bow rider model. With the Launch 28 (and the Corsair 28 above) utilizing creative engineering, we added over 6” of width over the previous design, and still had ample room for the necessary handrails, stereo speaker and all the stainless steel drink holders your party could possible want. This new model is also available with a cockpit galley which includes a stainless steel drawer refrigerator, sink and electric grill to facilitate a great floating tailgate party—an unheard of luxury on a craft of this size. Additional teak and stainless steel accents throughout this model add all of the elements that define a Chris-Craft. Our engineers and craftsmen have outdone themselves again with the Launch 28.

Based in Sarasota, Fla., Chris-Craft has a fleet of models ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Over the next year, Chris-Craft plans to unveil several more redesigns and new models. With a tradition of excellence dating back to 1874, the Chris-Craft name represents craftsmanship, classic elegance, total reliability and performance.
