[edit] Overview
The Chris-Craft Double Stateroom Salon Cruiser did indeed feature a very large and comfortable salon for intertaining and family usage. The salon included the bridge (helm), a hide-a-bed lounge, a drop-leaf table, plenty of space for additional furnishings and windows all-around. A door opened to the aft deck which was flush with the salon floor. This extended the space onto the aft deck as well. The forward double stateroom was equipped with a galley, lavatory (head), a convertable dinette/double-bed, large wardrobes, and with private upper/lower births forward.
