The wooden boats they used to make were beautiful.

Thank you! I used to work in Algonac Michigan at Chris*Craft plant before they moved. They were very strick about quality control.

Surprised OSHA allows sewing machines in production. One of the nicest tour guides you have had.

I love Chris Craft

Love the tours and really love the BOATS.

Fantastic topic! Please continue expanding number of factory visits and get more details. I am very interested in how superstructure and flybridges are designed and bulit from structural design point of view to production and assembly!! Keeping my thumbs up and following your chanell!! Thank you :)

Thank you for watching! We will continue to come out with these episodes and look to visit all the top builders like the ones you mentioned!

I am shocked to see that the employees are not using breathing masks, specially the ones spraying fiber glass!!!

A lot of employees smoke on there breaks, they really don’t care about there own health. They think masks are Annoying and they get use to the fiberglass dust. Once my foreman told me my mask was not necessary when i could plainly see fiberglass dust in the air when the sunlight shone in. Bottom line is you take care of yourself. I wore mask all the time. Boat companies are toxic environments. There like a cigarette company telling you cigarettes are safe.

Boats don't have floors, they have decks - landlubber!

Great video, informative and your presenter is a professional. I would definitely like one of your Teak Floors on my 25 foot Windy sports boat?

Would have been good to see the hull mold being separated

Love Chris Craft beautiful boats

Owned by Winnebago now! Nuff said! Like Benz being bought by Yugo!! Sad state of another US icon Co - not close to its beginning like GM! The crumbling of America!!

No price brackets! Chris Craft in name only!

How many people in that factory get to own one of their boats ?

What does that matter?

Chris craft start painting your stripes and hull sides with imron it looks better and last longer

This is not Chris Craft. Chris Craft went out of business. This company simply bought the name. There is no relation to the original Chris Craft boat builders.

@Don'tHateSomuch - and they immediately stopped using teak? Hired fast food labor or assembled an ever better team? So you dis Bugatti because they moved to France under VW? Did wood boat building fall out of favor in the past century? How many wood boats have you purchased? Do you own a rotary phone with a corded handset? Did the re-structured C.C. just celebrate 25 years? And still hold a share of an over-saturated marketplace? Did you boat this holiday weekend or just play with your dinghy?

They still use typewriters. They refuse to modernize. No battery tools, just corded. Treadle sewing machines. No website either.

They are using chop guns

Had to search his way out of that corner with the proper words. Let's just be honest. Fiberglass and resin is some nasty nasty stuff and you can word it carefully as possible and it's not good for people or thier environment. I love fiberglass just don't sugar coat it. I'd say it's still better than cutting every hardwood tree down to build our toys.

Not to be a Debbie downer but shouldn't the workers be wearing industrial Masks when spraying fiberglass? definitely doesn't seem very safe considering raw volatile fiber is a carcinogen???

I feel like this is executive really has no idea where he is. The reporter seems to be guiding him and he is just along for the ride.

Something about "glass and plastic" boats, leaves me cold and unimpressed.

i'll take host that doesn't know what they're looking at and exec that doesn't know what they make for $800 pls regis

I hate wood on a boat.

How about octopus Tony?

Get a narrator who has a clue of boat building! Never defined "infusion" ! What happened to wood? What are lengths C. Craft makes? Only runabouts? Any Cabin Cruisers? C. Craft guy uses too much "jargon" - "pull, shoot, fiber glass v wood, rails, etc"
