Chris-Craft is back; dealers get first look at new boats; company outlines its plans to return to full production, will exhibit at Fort Lauderdale
Article Abstract:
Chris-Craft Boats was sold by Genmar Holdings to Stephen Julius in early-2001. The British entrepreneur is chairman and Stephen Heese, president. The 128-year old firm never completely stopped making boats. Now the new owners are ready to show the new line along with some high-tech boats with retro characteristics, calling Chris-Craft 'an American icon.' The slow economy has given the firm time to evaluate how it should move forward.
