Chris Craft Sea Skiff

Forsale is this 1957 Chris Craft 22 ft. Sea Skiffin good condition. This boat has been stored formany years and has been recently pulled from storage to sell. Thevesselhas a 6 cylinder Chris Craft K engine and there is a vintage tandem axel "yard" trailer that is included in the auction.This is one of the great Chris Craft designed utility designed boats that will need somework and loveto bring back to it's full potential.

HULL:The hull is in good condition with some peeling paint but should be able to be repainted without stripping the old. There is a few ribs in the forward compartment that are deteriorated at the juncture with the stem. The stem is solid and the deteriorated ribs only extend up from the bottom about 6 inches. These ribs could easily be replaced and should not require replacement. In the area around this deterioration the oneplywood lap shows some deterioration but could also be easily repaired. The bottom appears ingood condition.

TOPSIDE:The topsides are in good condition and will need some varnish to bring back to a weatherproof usable condition. On the stern starboard corner there is a small area of decking, where the deck meets the hull, that the plywood shows signs of delamination and deterioration. This is an area of approximately 2 x 3 inches in size. The remainder of the decks appear in good condition and in need of finishing the brightwork.

COCKPIT:The cockpit areain nice condition and still retains the varnished interior wood rather than most which havebeen painted over the years. Much like the deck the interior boards are in need of a light sanding and varnish but are in very nice condition. The floor board panels are plywood and will need painted or a covering to make them weatherproof.

ENGINE :The motoris a Chris Craft K, 90 hp, which is believed to be the original engine. the motor has not been started in over 10 years. The motor currently turns over with the starter but I would plan on some service due to the extended storage time. The transmissions appears in good condition as does the underwater drive components.

TRAILER:The trailerappears to be of a similar time period to the boat and is inpoor condition. The trailer recently hauled the vessel from storage a number of miles but it was a slow trip with an escort following. There are no lights on the trailer and the tires are in marginal condition. This trailer will not make any extended trip but we do have accessto a facility that can lift the boat onto another trailer or the entire boat and trailer onto a flatbed.

LEGAL STUFF:I have not willingly omitted any information on the condition or status of the above vessel or trailer. If you are an interested buyer and unsure of the true condition I suggest you come inspect yourself or hire a surveyor to represent you with an inspection. The boat is sold with a PA recognized proof of ownership with a notorized bill od sale (no PA title with vessel this old). There is NO paperwork for the trailer and it is being sold with no documentation.

ANY Bidder with a rating less than 5 will need to contact me prior to bidding. If you should bid with a low rating I will cancel your bid. I appreciate new classifieds board users but it seems of late that there are many low rating bidders who do not follow through with sales. Please do not be offended but rather understand the issue to keep relisting due to these individuals.

Pleasecheck this one out and Bid To Win as we are selling this boat. I will require the payment format to be followed to complete the sale. Sorry to sound like a jerk but I had to list an item 4 times to get a successful sale lastyear due to bidders who were not qualified, serious, purchasers.

Thanks for looking,
