Chris-Craft started building Special Race Boats in 1934. It’s pre-World War II history also includes the famous “Painted Racers” of the mid-1930s, known as Red White and Blue boats because of their distinctive color scheme. The 19 ft. model became the true genesis of the post World War II Racer, the boats holding world record speeds in the 1 mile 225-E class (47.619 mph) and 5 mile 225-E class (45.330 mph). Only a handful of pre-war Chris-Craft boats remain.
