Chris Craft is the only boat manufacturer that I can name by memory. Ever since I can remember, my mom would always gush on about these wooden-hulled boats. If you’ve got the cash for it, a beauty like this 1962 Chris Craft would make for an ideal Mother’s Day gift. 

Interestingly enough, Chris Craft was founded by Christopher Columbus Smith. He built his first wooden boat in 1874 when he was 13 years old. It’s got to feel good when your company lasts over 100 years old. Of course, you probably wouldn’t be around to see it.
