Chris Craft Lancer 23 w Volvo 280 Aquamatic; Marine Power 350 V8
Restoration of a 1978 Chris Craft Lancer 23 Overnighter continues with reinstall of refurbished original Volvo 280 Aquamatic outdrive and the original Marine ...
Sounds great. Let's see more besides the transom which looks awesome. I
have a 73 Formula 23 and yours looks similar. But my guess is its lighter
and faster and more like a Donzi. Especially if the windshield is removed.
+captainedc Tons of info on these boats at the Chris Craft Commander Forum. That's where I found my boat and all the great insights I needed to restore it. The Lancer hulls are 24 degree deadrise making them excellent big water boats but that's what Jim Wynne designed them to handle. BTW, Jim invented and sold the I/O design to Volvo that they took and refined into the units like the 280 Aquamatic, roundly considered to be a "bullet proof" unit. Mine is 90%+ original w a few external new OEM parts I was able to still order online that arrived boxed and packaged from Volvo. Amazing.
I will surely check them out. We had a 76 Donzi 18 classic with that same 280 Volvo out drive (62 mph) and now the Formula. I always thought these boats were a Ray Hunt design and of course Aronow. I didn't know that.I know very little about the Chris Crafts just remember it from my favorite movie Jaws.I'd love to know specs and more about them but I don't see much on the net so far.Thanks so much for the info....Captain Ed at the Jersey shore.
Hey CaptainEdC, thanks for watching and commenting. Look below this video and you'll see my photo-name-4 videos. Click on the "4 videos" and it will take to you others. Yes our boats share the same DNA courtesy of Jim Wynne, the off shore racing champ who designed the CC Lancer hulls used from '68 to '79 including mine. He designed for Donzi notably the Sweet 16 as well as Formula's original 233 when Don Aronow hired him. More about him here and his profile done by SI in 1965.
