Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 vs Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 vs Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 measures 39,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 37,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 tips the scales at 285 lbs — 269 lbs less than the Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 at 16 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Chris-Craft Corsair 36 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 39,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Chris-Craft Woody Speedster 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
