33 Corinthian

The Chris Craft 33 Corinthian began life back in 1971 as the Chris Craft 33 Coho, a spacious six-sleeper topped with an oversized flybridge. A popular boat in her day, the Coho (which had a low-deadrise fiberglass hull and flybridge, vinyl-covered wooden decks, and a wooden superstructure) lasted until 1976 when the interior was revised and she became the all-fiberglass Chris 33 Offshore. In 1978, the name was again changed to Corinthian—this time with no apparent interior or styling changes. All told, the boat remained in production for a decade which says a lot about her popularity. Thanks to her extended single-level cabin layout, the Corinthian is surprisingly roomy below. The raised cockpit is also very large (for a 33-foot boat), and hatches in the sole provide good access to the engines. A lower helm was standard, and the flybridge is very spacious with seating for five. A hard riding boat in a chop, twin 250hp gas engines cruise the 33 Corinthian at 20 knots and reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 26–27 knots. Note that she was called the Chris Craft 334 Trawler in 1981, the last year of production.
