"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.

A chance to own a true classic Chris-Craft. Longtime owner regularly used this boat on Lake George and always stored in a boathouse.  Original Chris-Craft Marine Model K engine in strong running condition.

My Chris-Craft arrived at Dockside Boatworks in Easton, MD in Nov 2017 to begin a total restoration of the hull.

New hand trimmed mahogany planks were glued with 5200 and screwed to new white oak battens. Boat was flipped and 2 coats of CC red paint applied to all interior wood services.

1955 ChrisCraft, "Sliver". We are only the third owners for the last 35+ years. Our boat was lovingly restored by us to reflect the day it was purchased in 1955 in Clayton, NY and used as the Ogdensdburg, NY police boat. Used only a few years before it was replaced, the second owner, Blairs Marina in Ogdensburg, removed all "police" badging and white paint to attempt to restore her to new. As these projects sometimes do, the "restoration" fell to the wayside and was never completed. We bought the "unfinished" boat from the bankruptcy auction of the marina and proceeded to complete the restoration. The benefit of all the years of "restoration" was that we bought her with under 100 hrs of use on the engine. Sliver has been perfectly maintained, boathouse kept and very much enjoyed every year since on the St Lawerence River in upstate NY. Sliver runs perfectly, looks terrific and will continue to be enjoyed for many more years. She can be seen in her slip on Wellesley Island, just over the NY RT81 bridge enroute to Canada. Now the facts: 158HP MBL engine PerTronix electronic ignition Sound original hull

Cruise in comfort and elegance on your own 28 ft Chris-Craft Sea Skiff. Raised on these classic lapstrake runabouts on Cape Cod in the 60s I was lucky enough to find one locally about 10 years ago here on Lake Champlain. At that time I had some delayed maintenance done by Snake Mountain Boatworks in Weybridge, VT and have done most annual repairs and painting myself since then. Upholstery upgrades over the years and all new canvas in 2018 (including a custom backdrop) make for warm and comfortable fall foliage lake tours. This boat is not in perfect condition but has been well-cared for and very dependable. Includes an all aluminum Load Rite trailer. Always in fresh water. Currently the boat is stored in our barn and has been out of the water for two years.

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. She won Best Utility at the 2019 Payette Lake ACBS Boat Show and in 2020 was judged Best Pre-War Chris Craft Utility in the Chris Craft Antique Boat Club virtual boat show.

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.

Complete correct restoration completed in 2018. New “5200” (actually Sikaflex) bottom. B engine entirely rebuilt. Hundreds of photos of restoration, complete documentation included.

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.

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.

One of Chris Craft's most popular and versatile models, the U-22 Sportsman is a great size and regarded as the perfect "second boat" for a growing collection. Roomy and easy to captain, the Sportsman model is a good boat for entertaining, day cruising, and a manageable size for towing. 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!

Project boat! Intact 1941 Chris Craft Utility with a 6-volt, 60 HP CC engine #25335. Chrome and upholstery original. Purchased in 1985 from Nick Patch - the director of Champlain Longboats and Expeditions at the Champlain Maritime Museum. "Annabelle" has not seen the water since 1989. A pre-sale survey was completed in 2007, but the owners never sold. A Commodore’s last yacht looking for another voyage!

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.

Only 386 prewar Chris Craft Deluxe Utilities were built between 1940 and 1942, approximately half of which were Sedan models. This model was later redesigned and became the U-22 Sportsman, post-war, and was one of Chris Craft most popular models. This example has been very nicely restored and features the optional, factory 2/3 seat ahead of the engine box. Chrome, upholstery, gauges, flooring, and varnish are all in excellent condition. Recent varnish on decks. Chris Craft Model-M engine. Traditional bottom is in very good condition. This Deluxe Utility was originally restored approximately 20 years ago and has seen very little use since.

Fully restored 28' Chris Craft Super Semi Enclosed. One of 12 Built in 1950. This boat has had extensive bottom frames and plank replacement. The exterior was stripped to bare wood and refinished. The interior wood was also refinished along with the flooring. All new interior cushions were installed. An aft curtain from the hardtop to the flooring was made. A new custom dash was installed. All gauges, chrome, wiring, gas tank, the hard top, and more were done during the restoration. Both M engine went through a full rebuild and have very low hours since. The boat comes on a custom tandem axle trailer that was made for the boat.

This Chris Craft is one of the finest example of a Silver Arrow that is on the market today. They only produced 92 hulls of this model in all and this is hull # 80. In 2017 the restoration was started and finished in 2018. This boat is all original which makes it more rare and collectible. It has all the original wood and fiberglass in the hull ,it was restored back to factory specifications on all aspects of the boat engine,hull,interior,gauges, chrome, mechanical parts ,it is as close to factory delivery as possible. In 2018 at the ACBS international boat show it received a Gold award in the original condition class, this tells the story on what the boat is like. It would fit in any collection or just show and use. It's a real head turner,so be ready to talk about it. Many more photos on request. Also has a full cover included.

This 1953 Chris-Craft Holiday has had the boat hull, its systems, and the engine put through a full restoration while keeping original parts. After several light boating seasons ( no more than 15 hours a season) on Lake Michigan, the Chris-Craft was sent back to Hessel, Michigan for updates and to verify all things were fully working in proper order. The boat has a traditional wooden bottom that requires soaking but after a recently installed upholstery package, soaking that hull is all you will need to enjoy puttering away in one of the finest boats ever made! Every detail and scrap of paper has been kept regarding any work done on this boat.

In 1937 and 1938 Chris-Craft built a total of 271 of this model utility boat. They were 17 feet in length, 6 feet wide had a draft of 18 inches and weighed just slightly over 1800 Lbs. It is powered by it's original Chris-Craft Model B engine providing 60 HP which moves the boat along nicely. This boat was fully restored including a West System bottom in 2014 and spent many years in the Adirondacks. The owner has a copy of the original Chris-Craft Factory records which will accompany the boat. The boat is now ready for a new captain and would be perfect as an entry level boat or on a small to medium sized lake.

This 1951 Chris-Craft Sportsman was my Father's pride and joy. Life got in the way and he was unable to use it and enjoy it as he had hoped. The boat ran perfectly when was it was stored away in 2009 and was always carefully stored indoors and protected from the elements. Varnish on sides and decks is nice, bottom will need a paint job at some point in the near future. All Original and structurally very good. Could be used and enjoyed as it is. Upholstery is all original but is ok. Make offers...

Have title both the boat and trailer.
