1940 Chris Craft 19’ Barrel Back reproduction for sale… $28,000
This boat is not a rebuild or restoration. It is a new construction reproduction of the much sought after 1940 Chris Craft Runabout called the Barrel Back using Harken plans, including drawings and documentation.
Because it is a reproduction, you can own it for a fraction of the cost of an antique and you get the benefit of modern construction materials in an antique appearance, while not having to pay over $70,000 - $100,000 for an original. $28,000 gets you a boat that will get the same looks, oohs and aahs and modern performance, as well.
