The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
The Chris 425/426/427 Catalina began life back in 1971 as the Uniflite 42 Double Cabin. She turned out to be one of Unifliteââ?¬â?¢s most popular boats and earned a reputation for sturdy construction and a practical, well-arranged interior. In 1984 Uniflite ceased operations when the company went bankrupt. Chris Craft bought the molds (as well as the old Uniflite production facility in Bellingham, WA) and resumed production of this model the following year, calling her the Chris 425 Catalina Double Cabin. While she looked exactly like the old Uniflite from the outside, the Catalina had a fresh interior layout with walk-around queen berths fore and aftââ?¬â??something the Uniflite 42 never had during her production years. The 425 designation lasted only a year; in 1986 she was called the 426 Catalina and benefited from a restyled and enlarged fly-bridge. The 427 designation came in 1987 and there were no further updates of significance.
