    Congratulations on your well done model.
    Every picture you took makes your model looks like the actual vessel.
    I love the interior shots and this one is my favorite.😎

    You’ve taken the old Lindbergh kit to museum scale! It was a high-water mark for them imho. No pun intended. The kit is a tough find these days as I had heard that the hull mold was accidentally broken then trashed and the rest of the kit went with it. Obviously a short sighted move by the Lindbergh folks. As a result it is becoming something of a “holy grail” find for collectors and builders. I have an original pristine Chris Craft sales brochure for the whole line for 1959 that includes that boat. 😊. I will have to scan the pages for you guys if I can find where I tucked it away. 😉

    Brightwork,
    You inspired me to do something to display some of my boats. It's just a start, but I cleared off some less interesting stuff from a couple of bookshelves and went to my shed and literally "dusted off" some of my Harbor.
    Certainly not as beautiful as yours, but now I at least have a few of my boats to look at over the winter Dry Dock season.
    Thanks for the inspiration!
    Dave B
    PS Please ignore the mess around the bookshelves, it was a quick and dirty project, LOL

    I reckon you're right Roy👍 but with some 'modellers license'.
    Especially at the stern - seems to be intended for only one shaft whereas the original had two.
    Stabilisers were also fitted to the hull.
    The embryonic superstructure looks about right though.
    Deans still do a kit, but it ain't cheap🤑🤑
    Cheers, Doug😎

    The book is called: "CHRIS CRAFT The Essential Guide" by Jerry Conrad, Copyright 2002 by The Mariners' Museum. It's over 700 pages long and lists everything they built at the Main Division from 1922 to 1977 including their kit boats and sailboats. And they then devote an additional 275 pages to all of Chris Craft's subdivisions including the steel Roamer Hulls. Great Book.

    Hi Jumpugly, I admire and envy your encyclopedia.
    Is it specific to boats?
    What is it called (title, author and publisher)?
    Sorry for the many questions but I'm a bit obsessed with books.

    If Professor Pat can do it...so can I...lol.. The history of boating spans millennia, evolving from dugout canoes and rafts in prehistory to sophisticated vessels powered by steam and advanced engines. Early boats, appearing around 10,000 years ago, were used for fishing and coastal travel, with Egyptians developing reed and wooden boats for transport and trade by 4000 BCE. Over centuries, innovations like the Viking longboat, the Chinese junk with its rudder, and the Dutch yacht transformed seafaring, eventually leading to the Age of Exploration and the flourishing of yachting as a recreational pursuit in the 17th century. Modern boating integrates electronic systems, computer-aided design, and emerging eco-friendly propulsion, reflecting its continuous adaptation.
