It was built after Pruitt got involved....it is one of the good ones.

I remember the boat being a 1984 model, and know that it was a balsa cored version. The later boats were Divinycell cored. I recall it being a tad on the "heavy" side and the plan was to replace it with a 1985 hull with Divinycell coring, which Chris-Craft thought would be more reliable and lighter, but the plans to replace it fell through after the boat was sold.

Hey Tom. You don't happen to have any pics of the Duckin' Out on file? I (really my parents) have a ton of pics (paper) sitting around somewhere. That was a great looking boat for back in the day!

I'll have to check. I think I might have your dad's file somewhere in the attic. You're right, that boat really was great looking! Chris-Craft did the custom color (blue) for your dad, and then we had it airbrushed in the New York Colisseum right before the start of the New York Boat Show in 1985.

Say "Hi" to your dad for me.

Will do...heading up to our cabin for the weekend to get some snowmobiling in with him. I'll mention it to him. Come to think of it, most of the old pics are probably up there...a lot of the "archives" got move up there when they downsized a couple of years ago...I see if I can remember to take a look.

Sorry to High-jack but one quick question, does T2x or anyone else on this thread know where "el Gato Grande" is, it was own by an exec of Chris Craft that went to work for Wellcraft about 1984. Nice boat (blk and silver) it had 2-715hp gale banks twin turbos.
at 100mph it made those intercoastal telephone poles look like picket fence going by.

Sorry.. I have no idea.
