2021 Chris-Craft Corsair 27

Slide into the driver’s seat and you’ll see why the Corsair line has such a loyal following. The helm is wrapped in hand-stitched upholstery, with analog-style gauges and polished chrome that feel more like a classic roadster than a typical runabout. The cuddy offers a surprising amount of space to duck out of the sun, with a cozy berth and room to stash bags and gear so the cockpit stays clean and uncluttered. High freeboard and a deep, secure cockpit make guests feel planted even when you open it up, and wide walk-throughs to the bow make tending lines or lounging forward feel easy and safe, barefoot or in boat shoes.

On a clear-water, inland lake known for afternoon chop and busy summer traffic, the Corsair 27 really comes into its own. The deep-V hull softens those sharp wakes and wind-driven waves, while the generous bow flare keeps spray down so everyone stays dry. It’s the right size to explore quiet coves, yet substantial enough to feel confident in open stretches when the breeze picks up. Short runs between anchorages make the cuddy perfect for quick naps or getting kids out of the heat, and the elegant profile turns heads at waterside restaurants and dockside gatherings alike.
