Introduced back in 1983, the Chris 315 Sport Sedan is a practical flybridge fisherman with a big cockpit and compact cabin accommodations for four. She was built on the same flat-bottom hull used to build the 310 Catalina, and to say she’s a hard ride in a chop is charitable—she’ll knock your fillings out in a head sea. The interior is rather basic with berths for four (the dinette can sleep a couple of kids in a pinch), a small galley area, and room to store most of the things a couple of anglers will need for a few days away from home. Note that in 1988 Chris Craft designers replaced the engine boxes and the flush cockpit sole with a raised bridge deck arrangement—a definite improvement insofar as engine access was concerned. The cabin floorplan was redesigned at the same time by moving the head compartment aft where it’s more convenient to the cockpit. Standard features included teak covering boards, a small flybridge with bench seating forward of the helm console, and wide side decks for secure foredeck access. With optional 330hp gas engines, the 315 Sport Sedan will cruise around 22–23 knots and reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 30 knots.
