    Houseboats?  No.  Sexy runabouts that we can't afford.  A 44 outfitted properly is pushing $1M.  Needless to say, I've never seen one.

    The new manager of the Marina where we bought our Yamaha Waverunners, Doug Hyde - a 5 star certified Mercruiser technician and who sold us our 2011 Rinker EC 310 before leaving the Rinker dealership as service manager now as marina manager for a much bigger dealership sells Chris Craft, among other lines. Discussing this topic today, he said Chris Craft's present "entry" boat is CDN $ 140,000.00. For USD reduce that by 30%. He says the "word" is that Chris Craft will soon tool smaller, significantly less costly runabouts to target that growing section of the boating economy.
