History:

The Chris-Craft Cobra, an iconic speed boat renowned for its distinctive appearance from the era of big fins and wings, was produced for only one year in 1955. With a total of 106 units manufactured, including 55 1955 chris craft cobra boats at 21 feet and 51 models at 18 feet, this marked the company's initial venture into fiberglass experimentation, featuring a notable gold engine cover with a fin. Moreover, they all had the same bottom part, but the company added either a big Cadillac engine or a Hemi Chrysler engine. This made it a super fast classic boat!

Despite expectations of limited sales due to its seating capacity and overall utility, the Chris-Craft Cobra has evolved into a highly sought-after classic. Its striking design and limited production render it a prized collector's item, with the 21-foot model being particularly coveted. This boat not only encapsulates the aesthetic charm of its era but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this remarkable watercraft.
