Response to 1969 appears to be the first year of the hydraulic CC SBC motor
The 1966 to 1968 36' Crusader pf 495 of the EG was offered with the 327Q so much for for 1969 being the first year. But I will agree that it was in that time frame and I think you may be right about them running out of 327F right around that time and going to the Q. The interesting thing I noticed was how many boats in that time fram have just 327 listed with no letter designation. Think they don't really know what was in them for sure? Example the 22 sportsman on pg 511 just list 283 and 327 made from 1965 to 1967 hmmmm? Also the 1969 35' Sedan is listed as having just 327 no letter designation and it was only made that year pg. 559. As usual with Chris Craft they were always testing something so you can't really say to often that they did this or they did that.
