*** READY TO HIT THE WATER ** MOTIVATED SELLER, Twin Inboards, Fresh Water!
Well maintained classic style Chris-Craft. Fiberglass hull with wood accents. This is a great boat that sleeps 6. large comfortable v-berth. The dinette drops down and can be converted into a bed and the starboard side seat folds into bunk-style beds.
The galley area has ample storage but the cooktop has been removed.
The helm area features a large captain's seat and all gauges and switches are in working order. A GPS/ Fishfinder has been added as well as a nice sound system.
The canopy top is in great shape and swim deck has Davits attached in the event you want to take along a dingy to your favorite swimming hole.
This is a great fishing boat or family cruiser.
