Description
One of the rarest Chris-Crafts manufactured.
When the Chris-Craft Racing Hydroplane was first delivered, it was accompanied with a warning: “FOR RACING ONLY”. Chris-Craft knew that they had a thoroughbred on their hands. Equipped with a high-performance 121 horsepower KB engine shoehorned in, the three in-line carburetors protruded above the deck. The streamlined red fairing, designed to shield the carburetors, came to symbolize one of the fastest and most desirable Chris-Craft boats of the pre-war years.
This kit is very similar in construction to our 19′ Racing Runabout, kit 1249, in that it utilizes the popular expanded PVC and mahogany double planking method. The new 16′ hydroplane kit includes all the items you have come to expect from a Dumas kit. Step-by-Step instructions, flag, decal, chrome plated fittings and laser cut parts which we started using in our 1249 Racing Runabout kit.
Key Features:
- Utilizes expanded PVC and mahogany double planking for durability and authenticity.
- Includes laser-cut parts for precise assembly
