Much has been written about the early history of Chris-Craft. How Chris-Craft started and its production of beautiful wooden boats. How it eventually became the leading builder of recreational boats, selling more powerboats than its next 70 competitors combined at one point. That, however, is not the focus of this book. The focus of this book is the story of how Chris-Craft, once the most dominant recreational boat manufacturer in the world, lost it's lead and eventually ceased to exist, except in name only. The decline of Chris-Craft started in the 1950s and proceeded through the end of the century. It's a story of a family empire, a story of thousands of skilled laborers, a story of the Hollywood entertainment industry, and a story of America's fascination with the stock market. It's a story of one of the most famous companies in America that is no more.
