Accommodations
When it comes to elegance, there are few boat manufacturers that can do it quite like Chris Craft. Since 1884 they have been developing some of the most innovative and sophisticated crafts on the water and this retro-style cruiser is no exceptions. The Chris Craft 43 Roamer, along with its above average build quality and sturdy construction, embraces the concept of luxury in all of its assets. Built on a deep-V hull, and with a relatively wide 14 foot beam, the Roamer offers a smooth ride without sacrificing speed. Below deck, she can comfortably accommodate up to five people with two staterooms, each with private heads. In the main cabin you will find a U-shaped galley to starboard and a curved settee to port with plenty of walking room to spare. The upscale interior of the Roamer is a fine mix of top-quality furnishings and cherry cabinetry. The cockpit is designed for comfortable cruising and provides lounge seating for as many as ten adults. There are also several amenities like a refrigerator with sink and prep station, as well as an extended swim platform capable of accommodating a small dinghy.

Power and Motoryacht Testing
Power & Motoryacht Testing of the 43 Chris-Craft Roamer Article written by George L. Petrie, June 2002 A Legend Reborn, Chris-Craft 43 Roamer is worthy of the renowned brand My first glimpse of the new flagship 43-foot Roamer was at the 2002 Miami International Boat Show. Sitting proudly, just inside the entry to the convention center, her blue hull and rakish silver hardtop commanded the attention of every passerby.Now don't misunderstand. To paraphrase a car commercial from not so long ago, this is not your father's Chris-Craft. It isn't retro-style, and it doesn't bring on waves of nostalgia. It is a singularly distinctive look with signature elements that will become hallmarks of every new Chris-Craft.Most obvious is the reverse transom and tumblehome stern that belie the ample proportions of her integral swim platform. Measuring nearly five feet fore and aft, the platform can host a small tender or PWC with room left over to deploy the fold-up ladder or open a stylish stainless steel door to the cockpit. And it just wouldn't be a Chris-Craft without some varnished wood trimming her exterior. Gleaming teak handrails grace the cabin top, and matching teak rails (with integral drink holders) rim the forward sun pads. Handsome teak fashion plates lend a touch of class to the deckhouse sides. The clever part is that all the teak trim can be removed with just a couple of screws, taken home, and refinished at your leisure in controlled heat and humidity.As impressive as the Roamer was at the boat show, I got to really appreciate all she has to offer a few weeks later in Sarasota. Our test boat was fully equipped with options and upgrades, including the heritage package (the aforementioned varnished teak trim, along with teak decking for the cockpit and swim platform) and a handsome maple and cherry sole in the saloon. But I was even more taken by features that are standard on the Roamer.Interior joinery is all varnished cherry, finished in deep, rich tones. Even the door of the Norcold fridge is faced in matching cherry veneer. Both stateroom doors and the top of the hi-lo cocktail table are cherry, with a laser-cut maple inlay forming the Chris-Craft logo. And all Roamers are equipped with a full set of Chris-Craft china, flatware, and glasses, with custom-fit holders to keep them secure underway—real classy.As I poked around the Roamer's interior, it struck me that she seemed a lot brighter than many other express cruisers I've been on. Then I realized why. Instead of the usual oval ports, Chris-Craft endowed the Roamer with long side windows that measure eight inches high in the forward spaces and even more in the saloon and galley. The flood of natural light is complemented by recessed overhead lights and indirect lighting throughout. There are even built-in strip lights illuminating each step of the companionway stairs up to the cockpit. Alongside the companionway, in a cherry-faced cabinet, the A.C./D.C
