The ROCKET was replaced in1949 with the "new" 17' SPECIAL RUNABOUT, a slightly stretched version of the same hull with a new deck shape, all mahogany finish and extra trim. The 17' SR was particularly handsome with it's rounded front deck trim and mahogany with white seams engine cover. They were produced from 1949 through 1952. The SR was available with all versions of the Chris-Craft K series engines. Although not advertised as such, it was the lightest, post-war hull equipped with the KBL and many collectors consider the 17' SR a baby racing runabout. Starting with hull No. 1041, 726 were produced before production ended in 1952. This listing has now been on the market 30 days. If you are thinking of making an offer, go ahead and submit it today!
