BOAT OWNER’S COMMENTARY

This classic has been completely rebuilt and is now better than new. The last year ChrisCraft built the Cutlass was in 1978. They built 44 boats and this is No. 42, almost the last of nearly a thousand boats that they built. Included is one winter of free inside storage in New Suffolk, N.Y.
