Betsy Lives! The Wonderful Life Of A 1958 Chris Craft

After about three hours of continuous pumping we are now a

how I live my life. I am always focused on fixing something … I wonder why I love these boats???

    Betsy looks great. You will enjoy your cruiser, I miss mine. Is that a Matthews I see in the background? What length? Can it be purchased? Would be neat for me, I'm from the town where they were built.
