Description:

Most people don't even realize that Chris Craft made this all fiberglass boat in 1971.

Only 200 hulls produced between 1971 and 1973.

I know of no other XK-18's in this original condition. To be quite honest, I have never in all my years of boating seen one of these Metal Flake Blue boats, period!

I didn't know these boats existed until I found mine. It took years for me to pluck this boat out of a friend's collection of Chris Craft and Donzi Boats.

The technology that Chris Craft displayed pairing a Corvette LT-1 engine with a Jacuzzi Jet Drive in 1971 was sheer genius!

Google The Woody Boater, Boat of the Month, for a better description from one boater to another.
