This is a 1/4th scale laser cut short kit for
model of the 19’ Chris Craft Custom Runabout. The boat is 57 1/16” long and has
an 18 9/16” beam. The kit contains 3 ea. 36”
X 60” sheets of CAD plans. This model was generated from a Chris craft drawing.
The original Chris Craft drawing was
imported into the CAD system; it was scaled to the 19-1/4’’ (228 1/4 length).
The full-scale image was traced to give the full-size shape of the Sheer,
Chine, Keel, Deck, and Frames. The lofting of the boat in the CAD system was
done at full-scale. Full size .DXF files of the stations are available for
someone wanting to build a full-size replica of the boat.
The Keel and Stations are ¼” Basswood. The
transom is 1/8” balsa, it is designed to have 1/32 Balsa and 1/32 Mahogany
veneered to the aft side. It has aircraft plywood parts to mount an Astro M860
motor in the proper position, at the proper angle, and give plus or minus 1/10th
inch adjustment up and down and side to side. The motor may be removed and
replaced without disturbing the alignment. The kit contains all the cut shapes
to build a beautiful model of this rare boat. All
planking on the model is to be a total of 3/16 thick. It can be strips of 1/8”
Balsa with 1/32” Balsa and 1/32 Mahogany planks on the outside. It could be 1/8
X 3/16 Mahogany planking. This is a Short Kit, it does not contain any wood for
sheer, chine, veneer, or planking. The kit contains a Base and uprights to act
as an assembly jig to support the keel and frames while the hull is assembled
and planked. After assembly the base and 3 included cross pieces make a
Cradle/Display stand for the model.
The plans have all stations at full-size, and full-size views. Shipping is 10 pounds shipped Priority Mail from Zip
