Clearwater 1900 Review
The Modern Boating team were also impressed by the Clearwater 1900's ride and handling. The hull sliced through the multi-directional chop extremely well without too much banging and crashing. She also delivered a surprisingly dry ride.

The Classic 47 offers elegance, comfort and as it says in the brochure, 'the charm of the golden age of cruising'. But a slowing of pace doesn't mean any lessening of strength, especially when we are talking about the Classic Motor Yachts Australia's Classic 47
Classic Motor Yachts 25 Review
Classic boats say a lot of things to a lot of people. One of the things they say is, "Look at me, I have exquisite taste in boats, AND I have the money to indulge it". Perhaps that is just sour grapes. Most of us go weak at the knees at the sight of a mahogany runabout; it is a form of lust.
Chris Craft Corsair 33 Review
Chris-Craft are becoming a bit of an icon around Sydney these days, because they aren't your typical 'Aussie boat', but they're selling like hot cakes here.
Chris Craft Roamer 40 Review
The Roamer 40 is all class and a hard act to follow for boats entering the retro market. All of the componentry and standard of craftsmanship used during her construction is first class.
Chris Craft Corsair 36 Review
If Chris-Craft boats were good enough for movie stars like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Henry Ford, Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn and Elvis Presley, then they're certainly good enough for me.
