At one time, Chris Craft had an excellent reputation, from memory it was
purchased by OMC in the 80's. Also from memory, by 1980, they had become
known as a low cost entry boat, similar to Bayliner.

Disagree with statement that the brand has a good rep for quality.

Don't know about that particular model but check the boat over very
carefully for soft wood in the floor, transom, stringers, etc... Fixing
rotton wood can get very expensive and/or time consuming.

Anyone have an opinion/advice on a 1980 Chris Craft 2811 in excellent
condition ? Don't know much about them except the brand has a good rep
for quality.

Thx.
