Chris Craft 17ft Runabout Custom Deluxe

Restored with 5200 bottom ($1,000 a foot to install this!), Chevy v-8, new cover, trailer. 100k restoration in 2009. 150 hours since restoration. Recent varnish and paint; excellent condition.

The 5200 bottom is a BIG DEAL in the Chris Craft world. Basically, it's an epoxy that encapsulates the wood on the bottom of the hull that allows you to use the boat like a regular fiberglass boat. There are absolutely no leaks in this boat. The motor (Chevy 283) runs perfectly and has been serviced with new plugs, new coil, new points, new oil and a new battery. It needs nothing. The trailer is about 97 inches wide and 21 feet long and has been recently restored with new paint and new carpet.

There are some very good classic boat sites to read about Chris Crafts and restorations. This is not a project boat. This is a turn key meticulous restoration that involved replacing most of the wood in the boat. It's essentially a brand new 2009 boat. Please read up and ask questions when comparing a 5200 bottom restored boat to a $10K project boat!
