I am going to take the highest offer I get in the next few days so if the offer is a good offer...I will end the Auction early! The Constellation was generally considered to be the top of the line
mahogany cruiser offered by Chris-Craft from it's inaugural year,1955,
through 1972, the year the last mahogany cruiser was delivered. The
Constellations were constructed using mahogany planks over oak frames,
and they were fitted for comfort and elegance. There were very few
accessories offered since every imaginable accessory was already
included on these marvelous yachts.
The Promises is a Salon Model featuring double staterooms (Forward and
aft) and a very spacious salon equipped with a modern, though Classic,
amidship galley. Each stateroom has a insuite head, the forward head has
access from the salon, and the aft head is equipped with a full shower.
The Salon models were advertised as sleeping 6, but can easily
accommodate 8 people. and a max of 44 people allowed on board! That would be a Great cocktail party!The aft cabin is located below the command bridge.
A very comfortable aft deck is also an outstanding feature of this
immaculate cruiser. This 1963 Chris Craft 42' Constellation (45' Total)
is in excellent condition, There were only 50 of these ever
produced...This is #15 and I have only been able to find 3 others! This
exact Model was on the Popular T.V. hit "The Fugitive" which aired from 1963-67' SHe was considered a Class
Act In it's day and still commands respect today
it would make an outstanding Live a Board Boat, or long range cruiser. Some of things that have been done in the last 3 weeks...
Re-sanded and treating all the decks, rails and trim. King size bed in
the captains quarters, ! 2 Fire places, L shaped couch, NEW! Counters,
New Gelcoat on salon Roof and More. We have put quite a bit
of Money into her and have done even more in the month of August with Painting the Entire vessel with Marine Grade topside paint, More Varnish fixed crowding issue and more.
Twin 454 Crusader engines, which run flawless, you can motor this boat with confidence, she handles like a small craft
Recent repairs and maintenance to engines include

the boat also comes with a 4 cylinder generator, which is a hand crank
Kohler (They used in the Army) THis is a great feature as you don't need
batteries to start her. Brand new rebuilt magento. A brand new rebuilt carb but still needs a mechanic to go through the generator. 2 cylinders are showing no compression. The generator was sitting for quite a long time so it could be stuck valves at the least. It's just a cool feature . Not that any one around here would anchor out in the middle of nowhere over night but still nice to have
The boat makes a grand impression, Even at the dock, People can't help but stop and talk about her. People even remember her from the show, The Fugitive. It would be hard pressed to find another in this condition , and it is turn key
ALL decks sanded and
varnished and the deck at the bow also sanded down and varnished as well
as as the rear deck...Basically, all decks... Brand new L-shaped couch made and A Brand new Fire Place for ambiance as well as heat if you take her up North, Curtains, and a custom dinette
made. (These Cruisers were never big on interiors back then) I am also
having the counter tops re-done. SHe runs beautiful. I love they way She handles...You would think she would be tough to turn but she does it with ease and believe it or not...She will plane! She is docked in Sanibel Harbor. Electronics are depth
