Walk-Through

Boarding from aft, the Launch GT 31 immediately feels wider and more substantial than the smaller Launch GT models. The beam, cockpit depth, and twin-engine layout give the boat a confident feel, while the Chris-Craft finish keeps the boat warm, detailed, and elegant.

The aft area includes a powered swim step, making it easier to board from the water or enjoy time at anchor. The Heritage Edition adds Chris-Craft's classic teak treatment, including teak covering boards, teak accents, and a full teak floor, giving the cockpit a richer, more traditional look than the synthetic-teak configurations.

The cockpit is built around entertaining and longer days aboard. This boat includes the cockpit galley with sink, refrigerator, and storage, plus the GT Hardtop custom painted to match the hull color. The hardtop includes a motorized sunshade, LED lighting, and speakers, which adds comfort, shade, and better usability in changing Pacific Northwest weather.

At the helm, the twin Volvo engine package with joystick control makes the boat easier to maneuver around docks and marinas. The build sheet also shows Seakeeper Ride System as standard, helping improve ride control and passenger comfort underway.

The forward cockpit and bow areas give the Launch GT 31 the open, social layout Chris-Craft buyers expect, but with more room, more beam, and a more substantial feel than the Launch 28 GT. This is a strong fit for owners who like the size and simplicity of a day boat, but want a more capable platform for Lake Washington, Puget Sound, and longer family outings.

Launch GT 31 vs. Launch GT 28

The Launch GT 28 and Launch GT 31 share the same premium Chris-Craft design language, but they are aimed at slightly different buyers.

The Launch 28 GT is a beautiful, more compact premium bowrider. It is easier to store, easier to trailer or dry-store, and more approachable for buyers who want Chris-Craft quality in a manageable size.

The Launch GT 31 is the step up for buyers who want more beam, more cockpit volume, more fuel capacity, twin-engine performance, and a more substantial day-yacht feel.
