Even in regards to other aspects of the build quality, not just the engine / drives as those things can be changed. Was it a better time for the quality of these boats when Chris Craft owned it or was it NOT necessarily a good thing? Also, does anyone know the years Chris Craft owned it? Did the hull design even change at all between 1989 and 1992?
Thanks for your input guys.
I am not sure about the build quality of one vs. the other. I have a '93 OMC Chris Craft boat and the build quality is more than adequate for what the boat is and it's use.
That said, I think I would simply buy whichever one was in better shape and maintained properly. Was the '89 boat re-powered?
Good Luck.
