Seller Notes:

This classic wooden boat was restored by the prior owner. He stripped it down to the ribs, put a new motor in her, planked,and varnished the boat. His varnish job was not on a professional level, so it would be a beauty with a new varnish. There's very little chrome on the boat, maybe a dozen pieces, that need a refinish. A fully refinished boat cost thousand more, so this is a great value. The engine runs great. I had professional mechanic go through it.The boat and trailer are registered in California with a clear title. The trailer just had the bearings repacked. The two rear tires are good. The spare is rusted. The trailer works fine.”

Description:

1959 18' Chris-Craft Cavalier-

This is a classic Chris-Craft that is ready to add fuel and get

boating. Most Cavaliers are much smaller than this model, so it offers a

very comfortable cockpit for cruising. The freshly rebuilt 283 only

has 40 hours on it, and runs without issue. The boat was recently

restored with new decks, stain and varnish. Her shaft log and rudder

stuffing box were re-packed, and she does not leak. The Cavaliers are

not the traditional caravelle planked boats most remember, they are a

plywood veneer construction which offers both strength and light

weight...so they are quite fast. The gentleman that owns this boat is

getting up in years and is not able to boat anymore. His family is not

interested in the boat and want a pontoon instead (huh? what's that all

about?). Yep, I know. It comes with an older, yet good condition and

recently serviced single-axle trailer. This is a good opportunity to

get into classic boating without incurring the cost of restoration or

paying a much higher price for a professionally restored model. Thanks

much for looking, and I hope you or someone you know can give her a good

home.NEW: cleats, stereo, bilge pump, chocks, hardware, dual battery system, shore charger, and 110 converter. RECENT: oil change, rebuilt water pump, and professionally maintained. The wood needs a varnish. The engine is strong. The instruments panel lights up but the gauges do not work, never needed them. The trailer is included. It is a 1959 trailer with recently packed bearings. The spare is rusted and there is rust throughout the trailer. The boat is in a slip.
