Prior to Chrisbank, Warren Christensen started Regal Boats in St. Cloud, Florida. He sold out his stake in Chrisbank sometime around 1958 to focus on Central Marine Sales retail store in Kissimmee. There he sold Johnson outboard motors, Gator trailers, Holiday, Carter-Craft, Speedicraft, Sabre, and Texas Maid Boats. (January 1958 Boating Industry magazine).
