Anyone on here ever heard about a 1962 Chris Craft Switzer just found one on craigslist all the guy new was that it was a Switzer and as of right now there are no pics. Any ideas thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, I'm wondering is it a Chris Craft or a Switzer. Two different companies.

Re: 1962 chris craft

that is a possibility, the ad also stated that it had the original 110 hp motor with it did they have that much horsepower in 1962, i have i 1963 75 hp and i always thought that, that was basically as high as they went for that time period. So I'm not sure.

Depending upon the model, they had V-8s in '62, so that was probably a little L6, which are both inboards. OMC outboards topped out at 75 hp in '62, but Mercs hit 100.

Re: 1962 chris craft

The guy emailed me back last night and sent pics the boat is a Switzer craft like you suggested Ned, and the motor is definetly not a 1962 merc so leds me to bielieve either the motor was swapped or the boat isnt even a 1962.
