There once was an orphan 12 yr old kid, who ran away and joined the circus. Later he made a fortune drilling for oil, and bought this lion as a month old cub from the Dallas zoo

that's just not fair to use the Chris Craft sales docks as the backdrop for your truck marketing sales photo

 I had a 46 footer for 3 years, live on it in San Diego Bay. Big mistake in terms of life and financial choices. Wonderful way to live though, if you can get someone else to pay for it. I kept the compass as a reminder to never make a big damn mistake like that ever again.

vintage trailers getting towed to enjoy a summer weekend

I'm pretty sure they have the stacked seaplane - flying boat that I've posted before, on their trailer

Shifting it onto the trailer so it sits better?

Now wait a minute here... what the hell is going on with powering your watercraft, but not your road going vehicle? That's some bullshit right there. Bust out the oars and stay basic my Amish fisherman, or give up the religious crap and get a car. The only argument that will change my mind is if you happen to be training horses to sell to the Amish (or Mennonite)

supercharged hemi Cobra, a Chris Craft Cobra, not a Shelby Cobra

Chris Craft used the name Cobra in 1955. So, Shelby wasn't the first or the last.

instead of destroying old wood yachts or boats with bottoms that are rotted away... consider this - they might make great trailer park rentals. For example, the Shady Dell trailer court in Bisbee Arizona

In total, nine vintage trailers, from Crown to Airstream, Spartanette, Spartan Royal Mansion, an Airfloat, a Boles Aero and an El Rey along with the Chris Craft, are all available for rental.

Along with the trailers, a 1947 38' Chris Craft yacht with V-shaped berth sleeping quarters and a 1947 Airporter bus decked out in 1950s Hawaiian style have added to the court's yesteryear charm along with the an original 10 seat Valentine diner

This 38’ yacht has been elegantly restored and decorated with vintage boating memorabilia. The galley is fully equipped, and includes a comfortable sitting area and refrigerator

Founded in 1927 as the Thompson Motor Court and renamed Shady Dell in the 1950s, the rest haven nestled in the copper mining town of Bisbee was a frequent stop for motorists along Highway 80 during the golden age of American automobile travel.

1954 Chris-Craft Land Cruiser were produced as a kit for fewer than 6 months during the 1954 model year. Only five or six of these trailers are known to exist

Serious "what the hell was going on" moment... Sugar Pops cereal was giving away a model Chris Craft Cobra, and a big supply of "Nuclear Propellant" What the f? I can't make this stuff up

How did I never hear of this before? http://www.woodyboater.com/blog/2016/01/27/a-150-kelloggs-chris-craft-cereal-box-for-the-person-that-has-everything/

Chris Craft and war bonds (this oughta drive Charley nuts, WW2 and boats)

I learned that in Canada in 1939-40, you were requested to buy war bonds with your savings, and as an additional benefit, you know, aside from not having to learn how to speak German and goose step for Hitler, you'd get paid 6 dollars for every 5 dollars worth of bonds you bought, up to $600

The hot rod and car guy connection with cool boats (like the Chris Craft Cobra) goes back 60 years, and with the highest levels of legends in the business provenance, George Barris himself

1955 Chris Craft Cobra, it's a Cobra, and it has a vertical stabilizer...and needed a new home

According to Peter, BR18-020 is still equipped with her factory upholstery and original Chris-Craft shipping cradle. In addition, she has an interesting provenance being one of the very few (possibly only) Cobras that were shipped into Canada, having landed up on the North Shore of the Island of Montreal, Quebec as a gift from father to son.

Mr. Bailey wanted to see his little Cobra go to a good home, one where she would be loved, protected and exercised on a regular basis. It hit the water in May, and was sold 2 weeks later.

The 21 footers had Cadillac engines
