2003 Chris-Craft Launch 25 – Classic Elegance Meets Modern Performance

The 2003 Chris-Craft Launch 25 is a stunning example of timeless design, superior craftsmanship, and exhilarating performance. This classic-style runabout bowrider combines the heritage of Chris-Craft’s iconic design with modern technology and comfort—making it the perfect boat for day cruising, entertaining, and watersports.

Design & Craftsmanship

The Launch 25 embodies vintage-inspired elegance with modern refinement. Signature teak accents, polished chrome hardware, and rich wood details highlight Chris-Craft’s legendary craftsmanship. Every detail—from the gleaming hull to the hand-stitched upholstery—reflects quality and durability.
This boat has been freshwater kept until Fall 2023 and stored indoors its entire life, ensuring the interior remains in excellent, sun-damage-free condition.

Performance & Handling

Powered by a Volvo Penta 8.1L V8 engine with only 327 hours, this Chris-Craft delivers both power and reliability. The engine is a replacement unit (installed after the original suffered freeze damage in Michigan) and runs strong with Corsa custom exhaust for a throaty, refined sound.
The Volvo DuoProp outdrive ensures smooth acceleration and precise handling, while the deep-V hull (20° deadrise) and hydraulic trim tabs provide a stable, comfortable ride—even in choppy water.

Comfort & Interior Features

Designed for entertaining, the spacious cockpit comfortably seats up to 10 passengers. Enjoy the sun on the rear sunpad with integrated lounge, or relax under the color-matched bimini top when shade is needed.

 Additional amenities include:

• Teak flooring throughout the cockpit and swim platform
• Flip-up bucket seats for captain and co-captain
• Entertainment center with wet bar and storage
• Refrigerator and pressurized water system with 9-gallon freshwater tank
• Clarion AM/FM CD stereo with four speakers and in-dash remote
• Transom shower, boarding ladder, and self-draining cockpit

Safety & Construction

Built with Chris-Craft’s legendary deep-V hull design, the Launch 25 ensures exceptional stability and safety on the water. Key safety features include a stern navigation light, master on/off battery switch, and chrome over bronze through-hull fittings for durability and corrosion resistance.
