Chris Craft Boats - 110 found

"Twin Spin" is hull #3 out of the 48 26-foot Continentals made by Chris-Craft in 1956 and only 82 of these big utilities ever made by Chris-Craft between 1956 and 1959. "Twin Spin" was originally called "Allegro" by its initial purchaser, Dr. Clayton Stubbs; who was one of the wealthiest residents in Mount Clemens, Michigan, and could afford to purchase one of the first three Chris-Craft Continentals made with many special order items from the factory. The price he paid in 1955 was around $9,000, which equates to the price of an average house, or four new Chevrolet Bel Airs at that time. The boat is mostly original as per the original hull card. Some of the special order items from the factory which make this boat a standout are its full length instrument panel from port to starboard, with glove compartment and door, throttles together on port side of the steering wheel, hatch in the forward deck, amongst a number of other special order items as per the original equipment record from Chris-Craft. They are all are still on the boat today. "Twin Spin" was completely restored in Holland, Michigan around 2006, where the bottom was encased with a West Bottom system along with all the other bright work, engines, etc., being brought up to show standard. The work was commissioned and finished by Grand Craft in Holland, Michigan, one of the leading boat builders of mahogany boats in the USA with a reputation second to none. Since that time the boat has done less than 200 hours and has been kept and cared for as part of my collection. Making this boat even rarer and more sought after are its powerful twin MCL 175hp engines, which make cruising at 30 knots a breeze and achieving 40+ knots with ease as the engines purr in synchronization. The twin engines make docking and maneuvering easy in tight spots - along with making the skipper look like a true professional! "Twin Spin" makes Riva owners envious and is now looking for a new home and custodian to take it into the future.

All outer planks, bottom, sides, and decks were replaced. Both engines were totally rebuilt. Gauges restored by Clawson instruments, all chrome redone, interior, wiring, and much more. This boat is considered as one of the Family Boats. Six 25' hulls were constructed in the Holland, MI plant, one for each Smith brother, and one each for their attorney, lumber supplier, and one for the Ford family. Each was equipped with twin 105 hp KL's (except for one). Each of the six boats have two hull cards, one from the Holland factory, indicting the boats were "to be completed by factory at Algonac", and another from Algonac, where very special modifications and equipment were installed. Each boat received a shock-absorber dampened front seat, said to have been supplied by a friend of Bernard Smith, who manufactured them for the U.S. Army, as used in tanks. Rumor had it the seat did its' job so well, the Smith's thought owners would beat the bottoms out of their boats if they made it an option! Each boat also received the optional aft seat, with a live well under the starboard 2/3 of the seat, and a cooler under the port 1/3. Each boat had an aft steering tiller installed, and a pre-war single pane folding windshield (except for one), and a fish pole locker with locking door.

This 1942 18’ Chris Craft Deluxe Utility was one of the last peacetime boats delivered; sent to Bennett Boat Company in New York six weeks before Pearl Harbor, and was registered as a 1942 model year. The 18’ Deluxe Utility ran for three model years, from 1940 to 1942 and 408 hulls were built. Less than 10% of the hulls were built with the unique wood frame windshield. I have only been able to document 5 surviving 18’ models with the wood framed windows so this example is somewhat special. This boat went through a complete restoration in 2010 by a well-known classic boat restorer that included a new, no-soak 5200 bottom, a new stainless fuel tank, electrical system changed to 12v, the gauges rebuilt, the decking was replaced, the upholstery was replaced and the interior planking stripped and finished. She is powered by her original “K” engine (95 HP) and transmission as delivered in October of 1941. The engine was rebuilt as part of the 2010 restoration. The unique feature of this model is the ventilating windshield. Most boats have solid windshields to keep you out of the wind, but occasionally it is nice to have a breeze. The front windows push open as much or as little as desired. A snap on top was added at restoration to add shade or keep you dry in a sudden rainfall. In 2019 through 2021 the boat went through a restoration update by another professional restorer in Idaho. Work included building a new transom with new matching wood, stripping and taking all side planking down to bare wood, new wood fit into plank gaps and filled with West System epoxy, all new bronze fasteners, new splash rails, re-stained and finished with 7 coats of varnish plus new bottom paint. I have the restoration documentation. This boat is in excellent condition.

This black-hulled beauty has a classy look when on the water. The simple but attractive lines of the popular Chris-Craft U-22 model are complemented by her dark sides. With ample power and lots of room, she'll easily carry 6-8 passengers out on any lake or river. Picnics, cocktails or just cruisin' around are what she does best. A gash on the port-side forward can easily be repaired and the sides and bottom need sanding and fresh paint. Otherwise she is in overall above-average condition and ready for a new owner. Comes with a solid twin-axle trailer.

A popular lapstrake utility model, the Sea Skiff is a comfortable design that takes the water well. This 18ft Sea Skiff has spent the last 8 years in Lake Placid where it was boat house kept year round. The boat has received work over the years as needed including some minor bottom work. The V8 Chevrolet engine gives the boat plenty of power, and a teak swim platform has been added, making her a good ski boat if desired. She was used every season the last 8 years, and could use a little love to freshen her up but is a sound and handy boat for many uses. Last in the water and running Spring 2021.

Chelsea, a 1961, 27-foot Chris-Craft Sea Skiff is a great day boat that you can camp out in with a fully cushioned V-birth. She is a pleasure to drive and with her mahogany transom attracts attention where ever she goes. She can easily carry six for an evening cruise and with her powerful eight-cylinder engine confidently glide over the water at 20 knots. The handsome engine box in the middle of her roomy nine foot by 12-foot aft deck makes a picture perfect platform for cocktail making and a full-on appetizer spread. Chelsea is a rare find and a beautiful example of the Chris-Craft brand of storied workmanship, attention to detail and Great Lakes style. Her timeless design with extra wide seats up front, a cozy cabin and large aft deck with a wide bench seat in the rear has many newer boats sharing Chelsea’s same layout, for example see the Fortier 26 at six times the price. Constructed of 1/2 inch plywood, she is solid bottom with no structural issues whatsoever and powered by a V-8, 300 hp Crusader engine. The hull was painted last year with some touch ups inside. She comes with a lot of equipment including a 5-inch Garmin GPS, dripless stuffing box, dock lines, porta potty, compass, anchor and rode, fenders, complete cushions for her cabin, compass, transom cover, waterproof bimini, plastic side curtains, radio, antenna, 60-gallon gas tank, wooden swim ladder, and more. While she has been meticulously cared for by her present owner of seven years, like many boats of her vintage problems crop up. At end of the 2020 season the lifters began making noise and need to be replaced. This past summer (2020) my wife and I took her on a seven-day cruise from Darien, Connecticut, on Long Island Sound , out to Block Island and back To Sag Harbor before returning home to Western Long Island Sound. She’s got legs. Chelsea is an beautiful example of an early 60s Sea Skiff and after looking all around Long Island and up and down The Sound, I haven't seen another in half as good shape. I’m a private seller and want to see Chelsea go to a good home and considering her lifter problem is priced to sell. If you have questions inquire to the ABA website and give me a call. She is a really great boat and any offer will be considered.

The classic Chris-Craft wood boat design exudes style on the water and is sure to turn heads on your next trip. This classic 1959 Chris-Craft 17 model has been garage kept for the past 20 years!

This 1965 Chris Craft is one of 60 – 17’ Custom Ski built in 1965, and one of 150 Custom Ski hulls built between 1965 and 1967. The Custom Ski model was offered with the Chris-Craft 283 engine producing 185 hp. Present owner purchased in 2013 with approximately 50 hours adding approximately 80 hours on a local freshwater lake between 2013-2015. The owner moved to Florida in 2016, and the boat was put into storage. This well-kept example is in mostly original condition and would benefit from regular use. The boat is ready to run as-is, or would make a great candidate for complete restoration to mint original condition. Cover and trailer are included.

I am the second owner of this beautiful Super Sport and have owned her for 37 years. The first owner left the boat out in the weather for the four years before I acquired her in a swap for a debt owed to me. I kept her in my storage facility for twelve years until I decided to undertake a thorough restoration. I found a boat builder in Salt Lake City who spent two years in 2005-2006 refurbishing the hull and all parts. She is a completely original boat with very low hours on her engine and a good, solid trailer. She has been used sparingly by my adult children over the past 15 years. I am 83 and it's now time to sell my toys.

This boat would be a great restoration project. It comes with hull card and a newly rebuilt 327 Chevy ready to power the boat upon completion.

The windshield is there and all parts included. Started to restore but now it's time to pass this project along to another ambitious restorer.

This example is in very nice user condition and was used during the 2020 season. She has a traditional bottom that is in good condition. Service work, tuneup, and various upgrades completed earlier in the season with invoices available. This is a nice affordable classic that is sold complete with a tandem axle bunk trailer!

This Chris Craft Custom Sedan offers the perfect option for those who want to be on the water but not in the sun all of the time. This variation of the Sportsman model featured an altered sheerline and additional superstructure that was both functional and attractive. She was in the same family for over 26 years and has traveled to Canada, Florida and everywhere in between. Professional restored in TX and a no soak West System bottom was installed at the time of restoration. While the boat was receiving a new bottom , it also had a a replaced transom, new hull sides and decks. The replaced planks were carefully selected such that the grain would match up nicely. The upholstery and chrome are in excellent condition as are the gauges. Lastly the engine has been rebuilt with low hours on it since the rebuild. Electrical system has been converted to 12 volt and the fuel tank was also replaced. She is complete with a custom cover and custom built trailer.

This boat was sold to me on a bill of sale as a 1941 USCG boat. I can't find a data plate, and can't find a production record for this boat; but, it does match the size and lines of a 1934 Family Cruiser. The boat has been stored inside for 70-ish years. The previous owner removed the engine, sent it out to be started (which it did), and it is still on the pallet. There is no interior, which would be consitent with a USCG utility boat, so this might have been built with leftover 1934 Family Cruiser parts for the USCG. That's my guess. The previous owner started to build-out an interior, but didn't get very far and, frankly, it should be removed to install something correct for the period. The hull is totally solid. It's on a trailer which can be sold for $2500, or you can borrow it to move the boat and return it. This is a museum piece, as there can't be many more like it. Act now, this boat should be in the $45000-65000 range in show condition based on comparables.
