Blending classic sportboat styling with yacht-class quality, the sleek (and painfully expensive) 33 Corsair raised the bar for day-boat luxury when she was introduced in 2006. Chris Craft marketing hype described the 33 as “in a class by herself” which was true enough considering that there were few boats to compare in terms of construction quality, amenities, and price. Built on a heavyweight deep-V hull with a relatively wide 12'3" beam, this really is a beaujpgully styled boat with a tumblehome stern, flared topsides, and abundant teak trim. Stepping onto the wide swim platform, a teak walk-through leads into the cockpit with its aft U-lounge (with sun pad conversion), wet bar with sink, hot-and-cold shower, and two forward (double width) helm seats. The engine compartment is accessed via a hydraulic-lift hatch, but access around the motors is better suited to anorexic midgets that normal-sized men. Below decks, the Corsair’s well-appointed interior—with hardwood cherry joinery and designer fixtures—features an enclosed head, a surprisingly large galley with microwave, and wraparound forward seating which converts to a double bed. MerCruiser 375hp I/Os max out at 38–40 knots.
