In the mid-1990’s as newlyweds my bride wanted a puppy, and I wanted a classic boat. A deal was struck and the pursuit for a 23’ Chris*Craft Lancer Inboard began in earnest. (Oh yeah, the puppy arrived first). After a few years looking at various examples finally on a cold November day on the Old Mission Peninsula in Michigan, a fine original, unmolested example was discovered. Fast-forward now 27 years and we still have Same Wavelength, two kids in college, and we’re still married. We are on dog #2 now, and that brought about boat #2, but that’s another story!
