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.
Additional Highlights
- Custom Chris-Craft Burgee pennant
- Stainless steel bow light fixture and pop-up cleats
- Portside ski locker and ample onboard storage
- Port and starboard entry steps for easy boarding
- Beautifully maintained upholstery and finishes

I started sailing on Lake Ontario in Northern NY, in an old Snark foam boat. I Purchased my first boat at 12, a Smoker Craft with oars which I ran up and down the Oswego River. Continued my boating life by joining the US Coast Guard where I spent time running from the Arctic circle to the equator, chasing drug boats and performing Search and Rescue duty. Following this I spent 28 years in the executive corporate world, while continuing boating on the West Coast, Mississippi & Missouri rivers, as well as the Great Lakes. For my vacations, I delivered boats to and from the Caribbean.
It seems the path was cut for me to continue helping people enjoy the excitement and adventure of boating. Florida is a fantastic place to do exactly what I love; boating, talking boats, and selling boats. I look forward to working with you, to find what your mind's eye has for your future in boating.
