Although launches are traditionally intended to serve as tenders for large yachts, plenty of people will want to use the Launch 25 for day-trips, kicking around the bay, and even watersports. Our test boat had an unusually deep swim platform and one touch I really liked was the flush-mounted, pull-up grab handle back there. It'll make getting into and out of the boat a lot easier, but when pushed down, doesn't interrupt the smooth, sexy teak platform's eye-pleasing lines. To make day use more comfortable, Chris-Craft also builds a head into the port-side console. It's pretty cramped, which you have to expect on a boat of this size, and when you swing the door open it does hit the driver's side console. A rubber bumper would do wonders here, to prevent the smack of fiberglass on fiberglass. Inside, the head is once more a cut above. It has a sink—a rarity on a boat of this size—and the stereo head is mounted into the cabin-side, a smart way to keep it 100-percent protected from the elements. This part of the boat deserves a closer examination, which comes through a bit better in a visual form. So check out this short video of the passenger's side console and amidships area of the Launch 25.
